Time to stop loophole that allows Shein and Temu cheap parcels from China (euobserver.com)

Europe is drowning in cheap parcels. In 2024 alone, more than 12 billion low-value packages poured into the EU, 91 percent shipped directly from China.

The delivery itself often costs more than the products inside the parcel. Shoppers may celebrate €5 T-shirts and €10 blenders, but behind every parcel lies a silent cost: bankrupt retailers, violated consumer rights, exploitative labour conditions, and rising threats to public safety.

It is time for the European Union to act immediately and close the door to companies that profit from breaking the rules.
