Question for written answer E-000407/2025/rev.1
to the Commission
Rule 144
Adnan Dibrani (S&D)
We have seen alarming reports unveiling the specific operations of the Chinese online retail giant Shein, which has emerged as one of the largest e-commerce players in the EU. Shein is already recognised as a very large online platform (VLOP) under the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA), and as such is subject to the supervision of the Commission. The Commission has already used this act to send a request for information to the company. Now, we urge the Commission to take the next step and open formal proceedings against Shein, as has already been done in the similar case of Temu. This should be effective, given the recent implementation of the EU’s new General Product Safety Regulation.
We stand ready to collaborate with the Commission in tackling these pressing challenges to protect our environment and safeguard the interests of EU consumers.
We therefore ask:
- 1.Will the Commission commit to taking immediate action on this case and open formal proceedings, in accordance with Article 66 of the DSA, to investigate Shein?
- 2.What additional measures will the Commission take to address these alarming issues, without delay, to effectively protect EU consumers?
