Scandinavia calls for strong EU measures against e-commerce 'wild west'
I wasn't even aware that certain retailers can completely bypass rules of EU or country level quality standards. I thought those were enforced already.
Thing is/was (don't know if something changed over the last year) for example for temu, that you as the customer are also the importer. Thereby you as the importer are being held accountable for the product meeting the necessary quality standards (e.g. the ce sign). If the cheap electronics from Temu explode and your house catches fire, the cost is all on yourself.
It's the Chinese platform Temu and Aliexpress that abuses de minimis exemption shipping garbage quality items at low price.
