EU accepts Temu plan to remedy Digital Services Act breach
Temu must now file an interim risk assessment after regulators said its safeguards failed to account for illegal listings and unsafe goods.
- On Monday, the European Commission accepted Temu's action plan to remedy breaches of the Digital Services Act, concluding a formal investigation into the Chinese retailer's safety obligations.
- The Commission imposed a €200 million fine on Temu in May for failing to prevent the sale of illegal products including dangerous toys and faulty chargers on its platform.
- As part of five measures, Temu must conduct a risk analysis and review how its recommender systems "may amplify the spread of illegal goods," the Commission said.
- With 130 million users in Europe, Temu welcomed the approval, stating the plan "stands as a clear testament to Temu's commitment" to investing in robust compliance infrastructure.
- New packaging rules have seen imports from China slump 30% to 40%, while Europe also imposed €3 fees on low-value ecommerce packages since the start of July.
