BRUSSELS, May 31 (Reuters) - PDD Group's

fast-fashion e-commerce retailer Temu has until September to

comply with strict EU online content rules after its user

numbers exceeded the user criterion, the European Commission

said on Friday.

"Today, the Commission has formally designated Temu as a

Very Large Online Platform (VLOP) under the Digital Services Act

(DSA)," the EU executive, which acts as the EU tech regulator,

said in a statement.
