CMA fines Amazon for failure to comply with information requests in Deliveroo merger investigation
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has imposed total penalties of £55,000 on Amazon.com, Inc (Amazon) for failing, without reasonable excuse, to comply with requirements imposed in information notices in the context of the acquisition by Amazon of certain rights and a 16% minority stake in Roofoods Ltd (Deliveroo).
189 documents were provided between a few days and more than two months late, and only after follow-up by the CMA.
The CMA imposed separate penalties of £25,000 and £30,000 to reflect the different fact patterns of the breaches. The penalties, each of which is subject to the statutory maximum of £30,000, were imposed under section 110 of the Enterprise Act 2002.
The CMA concluded that the breaches indicated behaviour by Amazon which amounted to failure to adopt an adequate approach in responding to the CMA's information notices and that this adversely affected the conduct of the CMA's investigation.
