The European Commission has accepted Temu's action plan to remedy its breach of the Digital Services Act.

After a 200 million euro fine in May 2026, Temu submitted five measures to curb the sale of illegal products. An interim assessment covering six months is due by November 30, 2026.

The European Commission has accepted Temu's action plan to fix its breach of the Digital Services Act. The plan contains five measures: a platform specific risk analysis, reliable metrics to track the effect of mitigation steps, a review of the limits of content moderation, an analysis of how recommender systems might amplify illegal listings, and a look at deliberate manipulation by sellers. Temu now has four months to deliver an interim assessment covering a six month period that runs until November 30, 2026. The plan follows a 200 million euro fine imposed in May 2026 for failing to meet risk assessment duties.

The case offers a template for other very large online platforms that fall under the oversight duties of the Digital Services Act. The Commission spells out which fixes count as sufficient after a confirmed breach, avoiding a formal penalty process. Companies running platforms in the European Union gain more clarity on what compliance steps regulators expect once a violation is found.

It remains open whether the five measures will actually cut the sale of illegal products on Temu in a meaningful way. The Commission will review the interim assessment at the end of November 2026 and can reopen proceedings if the rollout falls short. Other platforms now face the question of whether to prepare similar action plans ahead of time rather than wait for a breach finding.
