The European Commission has charged Chinese online retailer Temu for allegedly failing to cooperate properly during an inspection carried out at its European headquarters in Dublin in December. The investigation is part of a broader probe into whether the company benefited from foreign subsidies that may have distorted competition within the European market.
According to the Commission, preliminary findings indicate that Temu failed to actively cooperate on multiple aspects related to the conduct of the inspection. Officials conducted the unannounced raid between December 2 and December 5 at the Dublin office of the e-commerce company, which operates under PDD Holdings.
The investigation forms part of the European Union’s efforts to enforce its foreign subsidies regulations and ensure fair competition across member states. Temu has not yet publicly responded to the latest allegations, while the Commission continues its examination of the company’s business practices in the region.
