Press release
We welcome the action the European Commission is taking to ensure online marketplaces play by EU rules. It is now very important that the Commission monitors whether the commitments AliExpress has agreed to are respected and if they are not, the Commission should take more deterrent action. The Commission must also pursue AliExpress in the areas where it is still not complying with the law, such as on its proactive efforts to stop the sale of illegal and dangerous goods on its platform.

The EU Commission announced today proposals to simplify rules for “small” mid-caps and reform the Single Market. While simplification can benefit companies and consumers alike, BEUC highlights the necessity to improve the enforcement of the EU’s key data protection law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), instead of reopening it and the need to keep some key information about products’ use, maintenance and sustainability on and with the products, not online.
