>Dominance isn't required for antitrust to apply.
Abuse of dominance is literally the title for the entire relevant subheading of law in the relevant jurisdiction: http://ec.europa.eu/competition/consumers/what_en.html http://ec.europa.eu/competition/consumers/what_en.html
Abuse of dominance isn't the entirety of competition law, but it sure as balls is the catch-all theory under which this is being pursued. See:
http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-19-4291_en.htm http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-19-4291_en.htm
>If proven, the practices under investigation may breach EU competition rules on anticompetitive agreements between companies (Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU)) and/or on the abuse of a dominant position (Articles 102 TFEU).
- gamblor956 7y agoYou need to re-read the announcement. It literally says they are looking into whether Amazon acted in an anti competitive manner and abused its market position. Half of the announcement is them listing actions that are not abuse of dominance. You also need to reread the section on EU antitrust you posted, since abuse of dominance is just one of many potential antitrust concerns they can investigate.
- ABCLAW 7y agoI think you need to re-read your posts. Read your admission that half of the stated areas of competition law they're investigating are related to abuse of market position and contrast it with my original point: >It literally says they are looking into whether Amazon acted in an anti competitive manner and abused its market position. >Relevant terms here include abuse of market dominance, abuse of dominance, etc. So uh, thanks for agreeing with me?
