German Antitrust Authority Imposes Restrictions on Amazon's Pricing PoliciesThe German Federal Cartel Office has imposed significant restrictions on Amazon regarding the pricing policies applied to third-party sellers on its marketplace. According to the Cartel Office, transactions via the marketplace constitute the majority of Amazon's revenue in Germany. The regulatory body found that Amazon had been enforcing unlawful price restrictions on these vendors. This practice, according to the Cartel Office, could result in substantial losses for independent sellers and negatively impact competition. This latest intervention by the Federal Cartel Office follows a series of actions aimed at curbing the market power of large international technology firms operating in Germany.
