EU Commission approves Temu's remediation plan to curb illegal product listings online

European Commission has approved a remediation plan submitted by Chinese e-commerce platform Temu to address non-compliance with the EU’s Digital Services Regulation and the presence of illegal products online. The plan outlines five measures, including a dedicated risk assessment for Temu, the adoption of trustworthy metrics to monitor the reduction of illegal content, and a review of the platform’s moderation mechanisms.

Temu will also examine how its recommendation system may amplify illegal listings and investigate deliberate manipulation by sellers using platform tools. Regulators have set a four-month deadline for an interim risk review, part of a six-month timeframe ending later this year, to ensure the actions are implemented. The commission highlighted the case as an example of the Digital Services Regulation strengthening consumer protection across Europe.
