Afaik, TEMU is only a broker between hundreds of exporters and the customer (who is also the importer). Banning the exporter of basically useless, they just reopen under a new name.
I assume they’d still have to register a new account with temu and lose their reviews? Being diligent about that seems already like a good start, at first glance…
If they’d ban Temu, which they currently don’t seem to have legal ground for, Temu would just stop printing their logo on the labels. New sender address, done. It’s not like the follow laws now anyway. They also lie about the value of packages to avoid paying import taxes.
It might work, but the EU doesn’t have a central entry point / organisation handling the mail so the legislation needs to be airtight if you want this to be effective.

Nah I’m talking about temu’s sellers. Sure it would be a game of chicken but it’s a start
Then it again comes down to volume. It’d be lot of work, so EU would need to spend money. I don’t think they consider it a big enough problem (yet).
They could do:
Hopefully it’ll be a pain in their arse to some extent
