European Parliament B10-0496/2025 Rejected

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.
