The Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) ensures the smooth functioning of the European Single Market by removing barriers to the free movement of goods, services, and professionals. It works to modernize the regulatory framework for the digital era, focusing on fair competition and the safety of products entering the EU from global online marketplaces.

This includes addressing the systemic challenges posed by third-country ultra-fast fashion platforms, which face ongoing scrutiny regarding the compliance of goods with strict EU health, environmental, and labor standards.

The committee protects European consumers from deceptive digital practices and hazardous products while ensuring that all companies operating within the Union adhere to the same standards of sustainability and transparency.
