SEATTLE (dpa-AFX) - The European Commission on Friday requested Amazon
(AMZN) to provide more information on the measures the platform has taken to
comply with the DSA obligations related to the transparency of recommender
systems and their parameters, as well as to the provisions on maintaining an ad
repository and its risk assessment report.

'Amazon is asked to provide detailed information on its compliance with the
provisions concerning transparency of the recommender systems, the input
factors, features, signals, information and metadata applied for such systems
and options offered to users to opt out of being profiled for the recommender
systems,' the agency said in a statement.

The company also has to provide more information on the design, development,
deployment, testing and maintenance of the online interface of Amazon Store's Ad
Library and supporting documents regarding its risk assessment report.

Amazon must provide the requested information by 26 July 2024.

Based on the assessment of the replies, the Commission will assess the next
steps. This could entail the formal opening of proceedings pursuant to Article
66 of the DSA.

'We are reviewing this request and working closely with the European Commission.
Amazon shares the goal of the European Commission to create a safe, predictable
and trusted shopping environment,' said a spokesperson for Amazon, Reuters
reported.
