France abandons bid for the total suspension of Shein’s website
Published
December 5, 2025
On Friday, France demanded a series of measures from Shein to demonstrate that the products sold on its website comply with the law, but dropped its initial request for a total three-month suspension of the online platform, which had been based on the sale of child-like sex dolls and prohibited weapons.
At a hearing before the Paris court, a lawyer representing the state said that Shein must implement controls on its website, including age verification and filtering, to ensure that minors cannot access pornographic content. The state asked the court to impose a suspension of Shein’s marketplace until Shein has provided proof to Arcom, the French communications regulator, that these controls have been implemented.
Shein deactivated its marketplace- where third-party sellers offer their products- in France on November 5, after authorities discovered illegal items for sale, but its site selling Shein-branded clothing remains accessible. The state invoked Article 6.3 of France’s Digital Economy Act, which empowers judges to order measures to prevent or halt harm caused by online content.
“We don’t claim to be here to replace the European Commission,” the state’s lawyer said. “We are not here today to regulate; we are here to prevent harm, in the face of things that are unacceptable.” At the time of writing, the hearing is still ongoing.
In a statement issued last week, the Paris public prosecutor’s office said that a three-month suspension could be deemed “disproportionate” in light of European Court of Human Rights case law if Shein could prove that it had ceased all sales of illegal products. However, the public prosecutor’s office said it “fully supported” the government’s request that Shein provide evidence of the measures taken to stop such sales.
France’s decision comes against a backdrop of heightened scrutiny of Chinese giants such as Shein and Temu under the EU’s Digital Services Act, reflecting concerns about consumer safety, the sale of illegal products, and unfair competition. In the US, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said on Monday that he was investigating Shein to determine whether the fast-fashion retailer had violated state law relating to unethical labour practices and the sale of dangerous consumer products.

India’s Gujarat state has unveiled its Integrated Logistics Master Plan, along with logistics plans for four cities.
The initiative lays out a project pipeline exceeding $21.6 billion for the period 2026-2047.
The priority areas include logistics parks, multimodal hubs and freight terminals; enhanced port-led and industrial corridor connectivity; streamlined urban freight and last-mile delivery systems.
The plans were officially launched during the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conclave (VGRC) held in Rajkot, the Gujarat Infrastructure Development Board announced on LinkedIn.
The Integrated Logistics Master Plan provides a long-term, multimodal framework aimed at enhancing efficiency across road, rail, port, air and warehousing networks.
The initiative is designed to reduce logistics costs, strengthen supply chain resilience and support the state’s growing industrial and export ecosystem, in line with national logistics reforms and the PM Gati Shakti initiative.
The CLPs aim at tackling urban freight challenges, including congestion, last-mile connectivity, land use optimisation and environmental sustainability.
City-specific interventions are planned to improve freight movement within municipal limits while ensuring smooth economic activity and better quality of life for residents.
The priority areas of the ILMP and CLPs include development of logistics parks, multimodal hubs and freight terminals; enhanced port-led and industrial corridor connectivity; streamlined urban freight and last-mile delivery systems; digital integration and data-driven logistics planning; and promotion of sustainable and low-emission logistics solutions.

LA’s garment industry enters 2026 amid disruption and cautious revival.
Immigration raids, rising costs and sustainability rules continue to strain factories, while tariffs and supply-chain risks are driving limited reshoring.
Any rebound is likely to be selective, centred on specialised and higher-value production rather than a return to mass manufacturing.
