Is the high number of websites found in breach of legislation an indication of the failure of Member States enforcement?
On the contrary, Member States did a very good job. When preparing a Sweep exercise, Member States pre-select a list of websites that have high probability to be in breach of EU consumer legislation. When enforcers screen the websites during the 1st phase of the Sweep, websites are flagged for further investigation and if the breach is confirmed, the Member States fix the problems. This is therefore the result of good enforcement work.
