A number of allegations against the online retailer Amazon were investigated in the EU competition proceedings. Now they want to make concessions, even if they have a different opinion, according to the company.
Amazon makes concessions in favor of other retailers on its platform in the EU competition proceedings. Among other things, the group undertook not to use non-public data from retailers to design its own offers. One of the allegations that triggered the competition investigation was that Amazon, for example, launched products under its own brands on the basis of such information and thus put retailers under pressure.
