Paragraph 11
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 11. Deplores the slow progress of the investigations initiated by the Commission and the Consumer Protection Cooperation Network into non-EU online platforms for alleged violations of EU product safety and consumer laws and into very large platforms, in particular under the DSA; regrets that investigative procedures often extend over many months or even years, thereby eroding citizens’ trust and hampering lawmakers’ capacity to respond to rapidly emerging online risks; stresses the urgency in bringing these investigations to a conclusion and addressing the structural reasons for this damaging slowness; underlines that, in practice, suspending platforms’ operations, as currently sought in France, remains largely unattainable, even in cases of manifest and repeated non-compliance; stresses that action is necessary at EU level to ensure the consistent enforcement of legislation, as well as to prevent any internal market distortion; | 11.

| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 32b. Expresses strong concerns about intentionally built-in mechanisms exploiting the dopamine reward loop, whose architecture aims to maximise screen time and thus has a destructive effect on the mental health, attention autonomy and cognitive abilities of both young users and adults; invites the Commission to consider the disclosure and elimination of such mechanisms as a precondition for access to the EU market; |

| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 17. Calls on the Commission and the national competent authorities to strongly enforce the DSA with regard to the responsibility of online marketplaces, in particular their obligations in terms of recommender systems, interface design, the right to information, compliance by design rules to increase the overall traceability, and their ‘know your business customer’ obligation; stresses the need for a DSA-based network of trusted flaggers for illegal products and e-commerce to ensure that platforms fulfil their obligations effectively; recalls that SHEIN and other online platforms, such as Temu and AliExpress, have been designated as very large online platforms and are subject to enhanced obligations; | 17.

Recital E a (new)
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| Ea. whereas very large online platforms (VLOPs), through the systematic use of infinite scroll, personalised algorithmic recommendations, push notifications, gamification features (points, streaks, countdowns, flash sales) and other addictive design mechanisms, deliberately trigger and exploit repeated dopamine release in users’ brains, thereby creating behavioural loops that maximise time spent on the platform and encourage compulsive purchasing behaviour; whereas these ‘dopamine-driven dark patterns’ are particularly harmful to minors and adolescents, whose prefrontal cortex is still developing and who are therefore significantly more vulnerable to addictive digital environments, leading to increased risks of anxiety, sleep disturbance, body-image disorders and excessive consumption of low-quality or dangerous goods; whereas the deliberate exploitation of neurobiological reward systems for commercial gain constitutes a systemic risk within the meaning of Article 34(1) DSA, in particular as regards the negative effects on mental health and the intensification of over-consumption and exposure to illegal or harmful products; |
