France's Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot on Thursday called on European Union business enforcers to get tough with the online platform Shein for defying trading rules, less than a day after the retailer opened its first physical store in the world in Paris.
"The European Commission must crack down and sanction Shein," Barrot told French broadcaster FranceInfo, saying that the Asian e-commerce giant was "clearly in breach of European rules".
