The European Union falls and teach frosts charges against amazon the news competition watchdog says the tech giant misused commercial data to outsell traders on its own website also coming up just in time for christmas the new battle of the consoles microsofts nearest x. Box challenge sundays playstation 5. Pounds will meet the buzz in tech workers who have joined together to ensure diversity. Plays its part in the future of the sense. This is the doing business on robots in berlin welcome to the program the European Commission has filed m t trust charges against accusing the economist giant of attempting to gain an unfair advantage over merchants on its platform Competition Commission a moderate to vest ago says amazon used public data to increase its dominance in its 2 biggest markets in the view from germany European Union started looking into amazon in 2018 it faces a possible fine of up to 10 percent of its annual worldwide revenue which would amount to billions of dollars the company rejects the accusations. So lets try to get a better understanding of what exactly the European Commission is accusing ms and all of our financial correspondent in front foot Chelsea Delaney can explain at the heart of these charges is amazons dual role in Online Retail so amazon is both a platform where other companies go to sell their goods and its also a brand itself it sells a number of products from batteries to clothing to furniture under its own label the amazon label and what the e. U. Is saying is that amazon is using all that data it gets from other Companies Selling on its platform to really boost its own brand so one potential example of this could be that amazon is looking at the data and suddenly sees a big spike and sales of yoga mats and in response to that it starts either upping the marketing for its own yoga mats or producing more of them and that the u. S. Saying is its really a breach of competition law it also comes and that have big backlash to tech science like amazon around the world so its not just the e. U. That is investigating this kind of behavior its also the u. S. And other countries around the world. Thats the point of view here your lets now cross the atlantic and speak to our financial correspondent. Whos out and about in new york what some reasons response been to this update from the European Commission. Maybe just one quick word you mentioned the 10 percent of global sales that amazon could be charged if we look at the year 29000 for example that would translate in roughly 30000000000. 00 amazon itself is trying to talk itself and small claiming that if you look at the Global Retail market they would have a little less than one percent but clearly they have a bigger percentage if you look at countries like germany france or particularly also here in the United States amazon is also claiming that nobody has done more to Small Businesses than amazon well i guess not every 3rd seller agrees was that a statement but even if emerson should found guilty next year they would probably fight or this case is going a long way from here lets talk about another u. S. Tech Company Apple indeed just unveiled its newest generation i macs and mac books theyve got one key difference in size what can you tell us about.
