Definitely for the EU budget. Now it will receive at least 2.25€ per package (75%[1] of 3€) where they got 0€ before. For the individual countries and their customs systems and personnel on the other hand...

unless Ali resolve this with big warehouses I doubt it will have that big benefit, I can guarantee it will make products much more expensive for consumers EU should be protecting instead of few importers that seem to be protecting instead

Too bad that consumers do not pay lobby money like Amazon does.
