The French government urgently asks for the European Commission that urgently has “new branch powers” of the online sales platforms in breach of the EU law, addressed to Shein, according to a letter that was obtained on Wednesday, confirming information from information from Figaro. Given the “risk of dissemination of illegal content”, Minister Véronique Louwagie considers that “it is necessary and urgent to provide the European Commission for new key platform powers that do not respect the rules,” he wrote in a letter addressed last Thursday to the European Commissioner of Justice Michael McGrath.
He also begged that “the competent national authorities” implemented “access restriction measures” to these platforms in case of deficiencies. Therefore, essor companies would withdraw from the results of the search engines such as Google.
A fine of 40 million euros from the DGCCRF against Shein
Véronique Louwagie praised European investigations against Temu and Aliexpress platforms, selling bazaar articles at very low prices and the defendant of the Mastodon of the Sheina ready to use. These three Asian giants are accused, for some, of marketing falsifications and dangerous products, for others, practices contrary to consumer rights, such as false reductions, misleading information.
There are many reasons for reprisals for the Minister of Commerce, which underlines “the pressure on employment in Europe, the increase in the risks for the protection of economic interests and consumer security, (the) breach of European social and environmental norms, and (the) impact on carbon linked to air transport.” Shein is attacked by all parties in France, attacked by an anti -fast fashion bill, since she has already received a fine of 40 million euros for the repression of fraud, and now risks another sanction of 150 million euros for the Digital Gendarme (CNIL) for her practice in relation to cookies.
