Amazon.com Inc.’s proposals to settle two European Union competition probes “appear relevant” to address concerns but might need some more improvements, according to the bloc’s antitrust chief.
The European Commission has started to assess industry feedback on the company’s offer concerning the use of non-public data from sellers on its marketplace and a possible bias in granting sellers access to its Buy Box and its Prime program, Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said in prepared remarks for a speech in the US on Friday.
