Tougher action against illegal and dangerous goods on major e-commerce platforms
Official title: Bescherming van EU-consumenten tegen de praktijken van bepaalde e-commerceplatforms: het geval van kindachtige sekspoppen, wapens en andere illegale producten en materialen
Status: Parliament has rejected this proposal.
In plain language
- The parliamentary proposal demands faster checks, stricter rules, and the potential suspension of marketplaces selling illegal items like child-like sex dolls and weapons.
- It affects major international online shopping platforms such as Shein, Temu, AliExpress, and Amazon, as well as customs and market surveillance authorities.
- You will face a lower risk of unknowingly buying unsafe or prohibited items online, although cheap packages from outside the EU may become more expensive due to new handling fees.
