will now consult on the commitments proposed by Amazon, it
added.
Last year, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said it
was investigating Amazon over suspected breaches of competition
law, including how it chooses products which are placed within
the "Buy Box" feature.
The CMA said it had taken action after concerns that the U.S.
tech giant was using its strength in the market to gain an
advantage over other businesses which use Amazon's Marketplace
to reach customers.
"Amazon’s commitments to the CMA will help ensure that
third-party sellers on Amazon Marketplace can compete on a
level-playing field against Amazon’s own retail business," Ann
Pope, senior director for enforcement at the CMA, said in a
statement.
The consultation closes on Sept. 1.
