Today, we have launched an investigation into Shein under the #DSA.
The investigation concerns the platform’s potentially addictive design features, the lack of transparency around its recommender systems, and the sale of illegal products, including child sexual abuse material.
In the EU, illegal products are prohibited whether they are sold on a store shelf or through an online marketplace.
The CEF Digital Work Programme has also been amended with a total of €347 million in funding available.
New toolbox, funding priorities, €347M investment: today we are strengthening submarine cable security.

This work starts at home:
- by fully unlocking the potential of the Single Market,
- by simplifying rules and cutting unnecessary burdens for businesses and citizens,
- and by mobilising the savings and investments union to drive growth, innovation, and scale across Europe.
It also means deepening our network of trusted trade partners, grounded in shared values and mutual benefit.
Europe has what it takes. Now we must deliver.
We designated today WhatsApp as Very Large Online Platform under the #DigitalServicesAct, as its ‘Channels’ feature reaches the designation threshold of at least 45 million users in the EU.
