Raphael Glucksman, member of the European Parliament, speaks to FRANCE 24 during a demonstration at Place de la République, Paris, October 2, 2021.

Demonstrators gathered in Paris on Saturday to demand an EU ban on products linked to the use of forced labour of Uighur minorities in China’s Xinjiang province.

Speaking to FRANCE 24, Raphaël Glucksman, member of the European Parliament, accused European companies with interests in China of attempting to block EU efforts to ban forced labour products.

Activists gathered at Place de la République in Paris on Saturday to demand EU action on Beijing's human rights violations against ethnic Uighurs in China’s northwestern Xinjiang province.

The demonstration came weeks after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced plans for an import ban on products made with forced labour.

In her State of the Union speech on September 15, von der Leyen said the EU can “never accept” that products made by forced labour “end up for sale in shops here in Europe”.

But speaking to FRANCE 24 from the rally at Place de la République, Raphaël Glucksman, member of the European Parliament, accused European companies with interests in China of blocking EU efforts to regulate the import of forced labour products. »
