Temu Responds to EU Commission Statement

Online marketplace Temu has issued a statement in response to the European Commission's Statement of Grounds concerning the Commission's inspection at Temu's Dublin premises in December 2025. Temu declared that it does not agree with the Commission's preliminary findings.

The statement follows the Commission's initiation of a review under the Foreign Subsidies Regulation. This regulation is designed to ensure a level playing field within the EU's internal market by investigating whether foreign subsidies distort competition.

The inspection, conducted in December 2025, was part of the Commission's ongoing efforts to identify potential competitive advantages gained through foreign financial support. The process aims to assess if Temu has benefited from subsidies that could negatively impact fair market competition.

Temu confirmed receipt of the Commission's communication and indicated its intention to engage further. However, the company emphasized its disagreement with the preliminary conclusions presented by the European Commission at this stage.

Further details or comments on the ongoing investigation are expected. The Commission's subsequent actions will depend on the information provided by Temu and the results of their continued review.
