Amazon’s offer to end EU antitrust probe is full of loopholes, NGOs say

Amazon’s proposal to halt specific online selling and marketing practices to avert possible hefty EU antitrust fines should be rejected because it is weak and full of loopholes, a group of 11 non-governmental bodies has told EU regulators.

The criticism from the group, which includes LobbyControl, the Centre for Research on Multinational Corporations (SOMO), the Austrian Federal Chamber of Labour, and the European Public Services Union, echoed those from pan-European consumer group BEUC last week.
