Germany closes Amazon probe as EU opens another
By EUobserver
EU anti-trust regulators on Wednesday launched a probe against Amazon - hours after Germany's Federal Cartel Office closed its own seven-month investigation into the US giant. "We are dropping our investigation," cartel office head Andreas Mundt said in a statement, noting Amazon had made improvements. The EU, for its part, says Amazon may have breached competition rules for its use of sensitive data from independent retailers.
