AliExpress, a cross-border shopping platform owned by Alibaba Group Holding, has vowed to fight a €550 million (US$629 million) fine it received from the European Union<\/span> on Monday, after the EU accused the company of violating the bloc’s Digital Services Act (DSA).<\/div>\n

“We are surprised by the EU decision and disproportionate fine and we disagree,” the firm said in a statement to the South China Morning Post.<\/p>\n

The e-commerce firm vowed to appeal the decision, describing the fine as “disproportionate” and said it did not reflect the “significant, proactive enhancements” it had committed to undertake.<\/p>\n

Alibaba had made “many improvements and voluntary commitments” to meet the evolving expectations under the DSA, according to the AliExpress statement.<\/p>\n

Earlier Monday, the European Commission said in a statement that AliExpress had failed to “diligently assess risks” and “mitigate identified systemic risks” when it came to illegal, unsafe and counterfeit products spreading on its platform.<\/p>\n

The platform also overestimated how effective its systems were at detecting and removing illegal goods and did not employ enough moderators for the workload, the Commission said.<\/p>\n

Tests conducted by the Commission showed that illegal products – from counterfeits to unsafe toys and dangerous cosmetics – were recommended or advertised to consumers before being taken down and that “a high volume” of illegal listings continued to circulate despite AliExpress’ moderation efforts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
