Amazon Probed by British Competition Watchdog_我的网站

一 |     E-commerce giant Amazon is under investigation by the UK's competition watchdog over claims it favors its own warehouses over third-party sellers.,The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) will look into whether customers are getting a "worse deal" due to the online retailer giving an unfair advantage to its retail arm or sellers who use its services in the Amazon UK Marketplace.,In particular, the probe will examine how Amazon uses third-party retailers' data and its criteria for access to the "Amazon Prime" service, which includes free deliveries. It will also look at how Amazon decides which company's product has the privilege of featuring in the instant "Buy Box" on the website's home page.,"Millions of people across the UK rely on Amazon's services for fast delivery of all types of products at the click of a button," said CMA general counsel Sarah Cardell. "This is an important area so it's right that we carefully investigate whether Amazon is using third-party data to give an unfair boost to its own retail business and whether it favours sellers who use its logistics and delivery services - both of which could weaken competition.",Bezos’ $500M Megayacht Stranded After Dutch Firm Abandons Bid to Dismantle Rotterdam Bridge3 July, 04:03 GMT,"Thousands of UK businesses use Amazon to sell their products and it is important they are able to operate in a competitive market," Cardell added. "Any loss of competition is a loss to consumers and could lead to them paying more for products, being offered lower quality items or having less choice.",Billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos also owns the liberal US Washington Post newspaper. The company has been criticized for its treatment of warehouse staff and its resistance to recognizing trade unions.。    Kenny 报道 财政部长Nicola Willis对聘请日薪2000纽币的顾问专家做出辩护。

三 |          Kiwirail是新西兰国营铁路公司，同时也运营岛际渡轮Interislander。渡轮为库克海峡的乘客、汽车、商业车辆和铁路货运提供接驳服务，并连接新西兰的南北两岛。         Advertise with us          据英文《先驱报》报道，政府在两个月前任命部长级顾问小组就Interislander轮渡方案提供独立意见，如今已花掉8万纽币，顾问们的日薪高达2000纽币。         由于政府拒绝为渡轮提供更多资金，导致KiwiRail的更换老化船队计划iReX陷入困境。该计划（包括新旧码头升级）的总成本不断膨胀已经升至30亿纽币。         （图片来源：Interislander）          Willis接受英文《先驱报》采访时表示，向顾问支付高薪总比继续推进失败项目要便宜上亿纽币。         她说顾问们“在轮渡业务、基础设施采购、商业承保、货运、治理、国企领域拥有真正的专业知识”，能帮助政府做出“明智决定”。         她说如果不依靠独立顾问，就只能“继续依赖KiwiRail提供的信息和建议”，“但作为政府我们担心的是，既然KiwiRail给我们惹下了烂摊子，仅依靠它们的建议是不合适的。”          “缺少候补计划并不是本届政府的错，因为他们面对的是一个失败的灾难性项目。”          “这是KiwiRail的责任，他们实际上从未制定过自己的候补计划；也是上届政府的责任，他们也没有制定候补计划，”Willis说。

四 |          工党惠灵顿事务发言人Ayesha Verrall表示，工党政府并没有全盘接受KiwiRail提出的高成本方案。         去年大选前，KiwiRail被爆成本失控。2023年2月，KiwiRail对政府称总成本升至26亿纽币。         2023年9月，工党政府原则上决定继续资助轮渡项目，但KiwiRail需要抑制部分上升成本。         大选后国家党得知了KiwiRail项目更多细节。

五 | 11月30日Willis收到iReX项目的书面简报，此时成本已经涨至30亿纽币。         12月13日，Willis发布声明，称新政府拒绝了KiwiRail关于港口基础设施的额外14.7亿纽币请求。         同一天，KiwiRail发表声明，称采购新轮渡船队和升级码头的iReX项目正式告吹。
