France Forms Interministerial Unit To Combat E-commerce Fraud
The French government is creating an interministerial surveillance unit named Vigicomers to address systemic consumer health and safety risks on e-commerce platforms. A Bercy advisor stated that platforms are increasingly bypassing regulations, necessitating this new response. Approximately 30 people from various administrations, including the Directorate General of Customs, will be mobilized for the unit. The ministry described the results of recent tests as conclusive regarding widespread risks. Officials reported that nearly half of over 100,000 products tested showed non-compliance with safety standards. A Bercy advisor stated the move is intended to strengthen oversight of these platforms. The executive branch stated the unit aims to identify specific needs and improve the state's response to fraudulent activities.
