A top European official has warned that Amazon’s compliance with the bloc’s incoming tech laws was a “work in progress”, as the regulator opens a Silicon Valley office as part of its preparations to enforce the sweeping legislation.
Amazon recently pledged to make several changes to how it handles data on its third-party sellers as part of a proposed agreement with the European Commission that would end two competition investigations opened in 2019 and 2020.
But Gerard de Graaf, head of the European Commission’s newly created Silicon Valley office, signalled in an interview with the Financial Times that the ecommerce group’s work to appease Europe’s concerns was not over.
