🇪🇺 Europe is taking control of its data, its supply chains, and its future.

The Tech Sovereignty Package marks a major transformation in the EU’s approach to technology and a significant step forward in our efforts to strengthen Europe’s technological sovereignty.

I welcome the trilogue agreement that delivers a swifter, simpler, and more effective policy for returning non-EU nationals with no right to stay—all while strictly upholding fundamental rights and international law.

Now it’s time for Temu to take its obligations under the DSA seriously and conduct thorough, evidence-based risk assessments to protect users and the public from harm.

The Commission continues to engage with Temu to ensure compliance with the decision and with the DSA.

[Henna Virkkunen @HennaVirkkunen]

We want to ensure that companies operating in our internal market comply with our rules and respect the rights of our citizens.

[Henna Virkkunen @HennaVirkkunen]

This enforcement decision follows a thorough investigation, which revealed that Temu failed to adequately identify, analyse, and mitigate the systemic risks of illegal products, like unsafe chargers and baby toys, being offered on its platform.

[Henna Virkkunen @HennaVirkkunen]

Illegal products have no place in the European market.

Protecting European consumers from harm is a top priority for the European Commission. That's why, today, we are taking decisive action against Temu and issuing a fine of € 200 million under the Digital Services Act.

Authorised MSS systems will provide secure governmental communications and innovative commercial services across all EU countries under the same conditions, helping to reduce regulatory fragmentation.

Mobile satellite spectrum is a strategic asset for EU businesses, citizens & governments.

The proposal adopted today on the procedure for the selection & authorisation of systems providing MSS using the harmonised 2 GHz frequency band is a major step forward.
