A news release from the EU Court of Auditors on 26 January says that a new report says that there is still insufficient sharing of tax information between EU Member States to ensure fair and effective taxation throughout the Single Market.  It says that the problems are not only with the EU’s legislative framework, but also with its implementation and monitoring. In particular, the auditors found that, often, the information exchanged is of limited quality or underused.

On 25 January, an article from Field Fisher reported that Bicep Papa, a Dutch web shop that offers food supplements to people who exercise or want to lose weight, used fake likes and fake followers in order to sell fitness supplements via social media, according to the Dutch Authority for Consumers & Markets (ACM).  It bought 98,000 followers and 27,000 likes on Instagram so that its products projected the perception of being popular and of a high quality.  In 2020, the ACM issued new guidelines regarding the protection of online consumers and this is the first example of the ACM actively enforcing the guidelines.
