  • Danish business organizations criticize the online platform Temu following a multi-billion fine from the EU Commission.
  • The fine is due to Temu's insufficient risk assessment of products sold on its platform.
  • Both Dansk Erhverv and Dansk Industri call for EU to close existing loopholes in future legislation.

Danish business organizations Dansk Erhverv and Dansk Industri have voiced criticism of the online platform Temu after the European Commission imposed a significant fine. The EU Commission cited Temu's failure to adequately assess the risks associated with products sold on its platform as the reason for the penalty. Both organizations agree with the commission's findings but also urged the EU to address remaining legislative gaps. Henrik Hyltoft, vice director of Dansk Erhverv, emphasized the importance of closing these loopholes in upcoming EU legislation. Jacob Kjeldsen, a sector director at Dansk Industri, warned that the lack of enforcement could threaten Danish businesses and jobs. The article also briefly mentions unrelated news about a court increasing a sentence for a shooting in Kolding, Danske Bank's job cuts, and a new agreement for Danish healthcare professionals to work in Greenland.

It is crucial that the EU closes the loopholes that still exist in future legislation.
