ROME — The European Union needs to adopt "strong and fast" rules against the invasion of cheap and unregulated products, Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti said on Wednesday (Nov 12).
He also said the EU should bring forward to 2026, from 2028, the planned introduction of a levy on lower-value e-commerce parcels coming from outside the bloc.
