TECHi's Take
Germany’s antitrust regulation authority announced earlier this week that it is dropping an inquiry into Amazon’s pricing tactics, after the retailer abandoned a contentious pricing policy. In the inquiry, the Bundeskartellamt — Germany’s anti-cartel office — asserted that Amazon may have been unfairly limiting competition by forbidding its third-party vendors from selling their products for lower prices on other outlets, including their own websites, than on Amazon.
