LONDON (Reuters) - The European Commission is set to launch an investigation into Chinese online retail platform Temu over whether it is in breach of rules meant to prevent the sale of illegal products online, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing unnamed sources.
The report follows the Commission's Oct. 11 request for information from Temu under the Digital Services Act, asking what steps it is taking to stop illegal products being sold on its platform.
