It is noted that the check will take place within the limits of the European Commission to combat “dangerous products” that has filled the EU market.

The European Commission believes that billions of inexpensive goods that fall into the block annually violate EU laws and that through these goods, European companies lose competition.

The European Commission Vice President Henna Virkununen said that e -commerce growth has led to “many problems” and that the EU should minimize the risks of dangerous goods that “threaten the health and safety of consumers.”

Most of these goods have shown dangerous, fake or even dangerous so they often do not meet our standards

According to the newspaper, last year, 4.6 billion of low cost parcels were received, equivalent to 12 million per day, which is three times higher than in 2022. More than 91% of parcels worth less than 150 euros came from China, where TEMU and Shein produce and send most of their products.

In the political document published on Wednesday, the commission stated that it would cooperate with the national customs authorities of 27 EU Member States to focus on dangerous products sold on the Internet, including strengthening of market surveillance and testing

According to the European Commission, the increase in the number of cheap goods purchased online, usually in Chinese marketplaces, increases the pressure on customs.

Therefore, the European Commission calls for EU officials to abolish the exemption from the import of goods for goods cheaper than 150 euros and proposes to consider the possibility of introducing a processing fee for retailers to cover the costs of supervision of compliance with EU rules.

The European Commission is also concerned about the environmental impact of cheap imports – ranging from pollution related to the production of goods and transportation, and ending with “significant problems” that arise from European bodies during waste recycling. Like, the latter has to deal with poor, toxic or difficult produced products.

The EU spoke about strengthening inspections after US President Donald Trump has introduced 10% of Duty on goods from China, thereby banning duty -free delivery of goods to the states that are cheaper than $ 800.
