  • A French court has dropped charges against the French subsidiary of telecom giant Samsung for misleading consumers over working conditions in its factories, NGOs and a legal source said on Monday. A legal complaint brought by associations, accusing the world's leading handset maker of "misleading commercial practices", led to charges being brought in April 2019. But magistrates at the Paris appeals court ordered them dropped on March 30 because they found the NGOs Sherpa and Actionaid-Peuples Solidaires lacked legal standing to file such a complaint. Samsung told AFP that it "took note" of the decision, and declined to comment further. The NGOs, who filed their complaint in 2018, accuse Samsung of failing to meet its own ethical standards that it advertises on its website. They said the case against the global player could be brought in France on the grounds that Samsung's website could be accessed by French consumers. They based their complaint on reports from inside Samsung factories in China, South Korean and Vietnam which they said employed children under 16 and where conditions were "incompatible with human dignity". Another French association, consumer rights organisation UFC-Que Choisir, filed a separate complaint on the same grounds against Samsung in February and is awaiting a court decision on any procedure. edy/jh/adp/rl
