The European Commission, the European Union’s top antitrust enforcer, says it has informed Amazon of its “preliminary view” regarding the deal following an investigation that began in July. Regulators have raised concerns that the buyout may hinder iRobot’s rivals from effectively competing on Amazon’s marketplace. They say Amazon is an important platform for sales of robot vacuum cleaners in France, Germany, Italy and Spain.
