The measures proposed by the Commission are insufficient – the processing fee will not solve the problems of online marketplaces

The European Commission has proposed the introduction of a processing fee of two euros to the member states as part of a customs reform that would only enter into force at the end of the decade. 4.6 billion parcels flow from online marketplaces to the EU market, a significant proportion of which do not meet the requirements of EU regulation. The proposed processing fee will not change the current situation.
