TOKYO -- Japan's antitrust regulator will end its probe into Amazon Japan, following the online retailer's decision to delete a clause in contracts that required vendors to set prices at least as low as on rival e-commerce sites.
The Japan Fair Trade Commission will close the investigation this month after it confirms the removal of the so-called most-favored nation clause and checks that all employees and customers were notified of the change, it said Thursday. The watchdog did not rule on whether the online retailer had violated antitrust law.
