    IMCO Members of the European Parliament are increasing scrutiny of major online marketplaces over the sale of unsafe or illegal products in the EU. As part of this work, the Parliament’s Internal Market Committee invited a representative from Temu to a discussion on 16 April 2026. The meeting followed earlier discussions with other platforms and reflects growing concern about product safety, consumer protection, and enforcement of EU rules online.

    Both SHEIN and AliExpress appeared separately before IMCO over the past months. The sessions took place as lawmakers increased attention on how online marketplaces follow EU rules on product safety, consumer protection, and digital platforms. Members are also examining how the European Commission enforces these rules within the EU single market.

    In recent months, Members urged the Commission to strengthen action against illegal and unsafe goods entering the EU, including products sold through large platforms. Several Members warned that slow or uneven enforcement across EU countries weakens consumer protection and creates unfair competition. They called for closer cooperation, updates to customs rules, and regular dialogue with online platforms to improve oversight across the market.

    IMCO intends to continue holding regular scrutiny sessions on this topic with the Commission and stakeholders.

    On 8 April, the TRAN Committee will vote on a report by Mr Danielsson (S&D, Sweden) on the Commission proposal to update rules for vehicle registration documents and data storage and exchange between Member States, which forms part of the “roadworthiness package”.

    The compromise text agreed ahead of the vote foresees certain adjustments to ensure that the transition to digital certificates does not disadvantage persons with limited digital access and skills. Further changes concern provisions on data recorded in vehicle registers and their exchange between Member States, the improvement of vehicle holders' rights and the alignment with related pieces of legislation.
