• Under the law, ultra-fast-fashion companies face fines between €0.25 and €6 per product this year, rising as high as €10 per product in 2030.• The law also bans advertising by ultra-fast-fashion companies, and bans online influencers from promoting them.

• "What is at stake today is not just clothes, but the societal model we want to defend," said Serge Papin, minister for small enterprises, in a speech ahead of the vote. "The industry targeted by this bill is one that floods our markets with disposable fashion, with clothes worn only a few weeks before being thrown away".

• Shein said some measures of the bill "appear to retain inconsistencies with the applicable European framework governing digital services and e-commerce".• The European Commission did not immediately reply to a request for comment.• France's first version of the anti-fast-fashion bill was passed in March 2024 by the lower house while the next version, passed in June 2025 by the Senate, was more targeted with measures aimed at ultra-fast-fashion retailers targeting online-only platforms and excluding European fast-fashion players such as Zara and H&M.

• Spokespeople for Temu and for AliExpress did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
