Key Takeaway
Consumers shop online in the EU due to trust in product safety and compliance with regulations. However, preliminary assessments indicate that Temu does not meet the risk assessment standards mandated by the Digital Services Act. The EU prioritizes online safety, viewing it as non-negotiable. The Digital Services Act serves as a crucial framework for enhancing online protection and ensuring a safer, fairer digital Single Market for all Europeans.
We shop online because we believe that products available in our Single Market are safe and adhere to our regulations.
In our initial assessment, Temu is significantly lacking in evaluating risks for its users at the standards mandated by the Digital Services Act.
Online consumer safety is non-negotiable in the EU—our laws, including the Digital Services Act, serve as the foundation for enhanced online protection and a safer, fairer digital Single Market for all Europeans.
