German Antitrust Authority Raises Concerns Over Amazon's Pricing Tactics
BERLIN (Reuters) -Germany's federal cartel office on Monday expressed concern about Amazon's use of so-called price control mechanisms, saying in a statement that "this could constitute an abuse under the special provisions for large digital companies."
