Germany drafting regulations for Chinese online discounters, Capital reports

BERLIN : Germany is drafting new regulations to ensure Chinese discount retailers such as Temu and Shein comply with standards for product safety, environmental protection, consumer rights, as well as customs and tax laws, Capital magazine reported.
Germany’s main retail association HDE has been lobbying the government to “ensure fair competition for all market participants”, saying customs authorities lack the capacity to check that all the products comply with European Union rules.
