France Makes New Rules for Cheap Clothes
法國針對廉價服飾制定新規定
Introduction
France has a new law. This law stops companies from selling too many cheap clothes that hurt the earth.
法國出台了一項新法律，旨在防止公司銷售過多會損害地球的廉價服飾。
Main Body
The law targets big online shops from Asia, like Shein and Temu. These shops sell many clothes for very low prices. Now, these shops must pay a fee for every item they sell. This fee can be 20 euros by the year 2030. France will use this money to recycle old clothes.
該法律針對來自亞洲的大型網路商店，例如 Shein 和 Temu。這些商店以極低價格銷售大量服飾。現在，這些商店每銷售一件商品就必須支付一筆費用。到 2030 年，這筆費用可能會達到 20 歐元。法國將使用這筆資金來回收舊衣。
The law also stops these shops from using social media stars to sell clothes. The shops must tell people to buy fewer things on their websites. However, the European Union is not sure if this part of the law is okay.
該法律還禁止這些商店利用社群媒體紅人來銷售服飾。商店必須在網站上提醒人們減少購買。然而，歐盟並不確定法律的這一部分是否可行。
Some people are unhappy. They think the law is too weak. They want the law to include other big shops like H&M and Zara too.
有些人並不滿意，認為這項法律太過寬鬆。他們希望法律也能將 H&M 和 Zara 等其他大型商店納入其中。
Conclusion
France has new rules for fast fashion, but the rules for ads are not finished yet.
法國對快時尚制定了新規定，但關於廣告的規定尚未完成。
