BRUSSELS, July 31 (Reuters) - The European Commission said

on Friday that it has charged Chinese online retailer Temu for

not cooperating properly during a raid on its European

headquarters in Dublin in December as part of an investigation

into whether the company benefited from distorting foreign

subsidies.

"The Commission preliminarily finds that Temu has infringed

its duty to actively cooperate on multiple aspects related to

the conduct of the inspection," the Commission said in a

statement.

Between December 2 and 5, the Commission carried out an

unannounced inspection at the office of the ecommerce firm,

which is a unit of PPD Holdings in Dublin, Ireland.
