Amazon's Kuiper urges flexible space safety rules aligned with global standards

7 Nov 2025
Feedback on — EU regulation on safety, resilience and sustainability of space activities and debris mitigation.
Their ask — Amazon requests performance-based safety standards that apply equally to all operators regardless of fleet size, not stricter rules for large constellations. They want technical requirements aligned with established international standards from ISO, IADC and ESA, incorporated directly into the Act rather than left to future Implementing Acts. They seek flexible reflectivity goals following IAU guidance, longer implementation timelines, and harmonized registration procedures for EU and non-EU operators.1234
How it helps them — This would avoid EU-specific compliance costs and allow continued constellation deployment without manufacturing delays.567
Who loses — EU citizens lose access to satellite broadband services if compliance costs restrict market entry.8
Response to: Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on the safety, resilience and sustainability of space activities in the Union

Amazon urges EU EPR platform to simplify compliance

6 Nov 2025
Feedback on — EU Circular Economy Act aims to boost recycling and sustainable production.
Their ask — Amazon requests a centralized EU EPR platform, harmonized reporting rules, and permission for marketplaces to act as 'Limited Authorized Representatives'. They want to report and pay EPR fees on behalf of sellers, eliminate brand-level registration, and allow financial contributions instead of physical take-back obligations.1234
How it helps them — This would reduce administrative complexity across 27 Member States and lower compliance costs.567
Who loses — Smaller sellers lose direct responsibility for compliance as marketplaces assume reporting roles.8
Response to: Circular Economy Act

Amazon urges EU AI energy roadmap prioritize grid reforms

5 Nov 2025
Feedback on — EU consultation on leveraging digital technologies and AI in energy sector transformation.
Their ask — Amazon requests regulatory frameworks incentivizing digital energy investments with performance-based returns comparable to physical infrastructure. They advocate grid connection reform with digitized processes, transparency requirements, and elimination of speculative applications causing delays. The company urges avoiding premature minimum performance standards for data centers until robust datasets exist, instead supporting voluntary market-based flexibility mechanisms.1234
How it helps them — This would reduce compliance costs and accelerate AWS data center deployments across Europe.567
Who loses — Environmental groups lose stricter energy efficiency requirements for large technology companies' facilities.89

Amazon urges delay in EU digital rules citing implementation burden

13 Oct 2025
Feedback on — Commission review of EU digital regulations seeking simplification and reducing business burdens.
Their ask — Amazon requests adequate implementation timelines across digital regulations, particularly for AI Act compliance. They seek alignment of cybersecurity reporting requirements across NIS2 and CRA to reduce duplicative obligations. They oppose mandatory interoperability standards under the Data Act without evidence of market failure. Amazon advocates for risk-based exemptions from consent requirements for low-risk cookie tracking.1234
How it helps them — This would reduce compliance costs and allow resources for innovation rather than bureaucracy.567
Who loses — Privacy advocates lose stronger consent protections against tracking and behavioral advertising.8
Response to: Digital Omnibus revising several legislative acts in view of regulatory simplification

Amazon urges EU to accelerate electrification with grid reforms and affordability focus

9 Oct 2025
Feedback on — EU consultation on action plan to increase electrification for decarbonization goals.
Their ask — Amazon requests faster renewable energy permitting, reformed grid connection processes, market-based flexibility procurement, regulatory certainty for electric transport, and streamlined heat pump deployment. They emphasize that businesses require affordable energy to enable electrification and maintain competitiveness.1234
How it helps them — This would reduce connection delays and operational costs for their electric vehicle fleet and facilities.56
Who loses — Small logistics operators lose as reforms prioritize large companies' infrastructure access and investment capacity.78

Amazon urges EU to make digital passports mandatory for products

2 Sept 2025
Feedback on — Revision of EU product safety and market surveillance framework for digitalization.
Their ask — Amazon wants Digital Product Passports to become the single source of truth for product information and replace physical labelling. They request harmonised EU definitions for repair and refurbishment terms, and a digital one-stop-shop for Extended Producer Responsibility compliance. They advocate for strengthening the Responsible Person role through professional accreditation and a verification database.12345
How it helps them — This would eliminate costly physical packaging updates and reduce compliance costs by 15%.678
Who loses — Smaller manufacturers lose as professionalized Responsible Person requirements increase compliance barriers.91011
Response to: Revision of the 'New Legislative Framework' (Decision No 768/2008/EC and Regulation (EU) No 765/2008)

5 Aug 2025
Feedback on — EU consultation on grid infrastructure modernization to support renewable energy and electrification.
Their ask — Amazon requests fast-track connection pathways for strategic infrastructure like data centers, reformed connection queues to remove speculative projects, and forward-looking grid planning based on industry load projections. They want utilities to share capacity maps quarterly and extend planning horizons beyond three years.1234
How it helps them — This would cut connection wait times from 7-10 years to 2-3 years for their data centers.56
Who loses — Smaller renewable energy projects lose priority access to grid capacity and face longer delays.78

Amazon urges EU to avoid telecom regulation for cloud services

11 Jul 2025
Feedback on — Proposed EU regulation on digital infrastructure investment and connectivity standards.
Their ask — Amazon requests that the Commission reject dispute resolution mechanisms for IP interconnection, avoid classifying CDNs as telecommunications services, and recognize that cloud and telecom services are fundamentally different. They argue convergence is a false premise that would harm European businesses.123
How it helps them — This would protect their existing zero-cost peering arrangements and avoid higher interconnection costs.45
Who loses — European businesses using cloud services would face higher costs and degraded service quality.67
Response to: Digital Networks Act

Amazon urges streamlined permitting and existing rules for EU cloud expansion

3 Jul 2025
Feedback on — EU regulation on increasing cloud and AI infrastructure capacity and security.
Their ask — Amazon requests streamlined data center permitting through fast-track procedures, simplified grid connections, and better site selection information. They urge reliance on existing cybersecurity regulations rather than new requirements, warning against ownership-based sovereignty criteria.123
How it helps them — This would reduce infrastructure deployment delays and avoid duplicative compliance costs from overlapping regulations.456
Who loses — European cloud startups lose potential policy support favouring EU-headquartered providers in sensitive sectors.7

Amazon urges EU to keep cybersecurity certification voluntary and technical

19 Jun 2025
Feedback on — Revision of EU Cybersecurity Act and ENISA's mandate for improved resilience.
Their ask — Amazon wants ENISA to remain a technical advisor without binding regulatory powers, opposes introducing non-technical risk factors into certification schemes, and seeks streamlined incident reporting with alignment across EU laws. They advocate for voluntary certification based purely on technical criteria and greater stakeholder consultation in scheme development.1234
How it helps them — This would preserve customer choice of technologies and reduce compliance costs across multiple markets.56
Who loses — EU policymakers lose flexibility to restrict vendors based on non-technical security concerns.78
Response to: Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on revision of the Cybersecurity Act, streamlining and supplementing cybersecurity legislation and repealing Regulation (EU) 2019/881 of the European Parliament and the Council of 17 April 2019 on ENISA (the European Agency for Cybersecurity) and on information and communications technology cybersecurity certification and repealing Regulation (EU) No 526/2013 (Cybersecurity Act) (Text with EEA relevance)

Amazon urges simplified EU digital wallet registration process

23 Dec 2024
Feedback on — EU regulation on registration requirements for relying parties using European Digital Identity Wallets.
Their ask — Amazon requests registration in a single Member State where established, with one parent entity registering on behalf of multiple subsidiaries. They seek to limit public disclosure to information already in the public domain and require notice before registration cancellation except in fraud cases.1234
How it helps them — This would reduce administrative burden and compliance costs across multiple Member States.56
Who loses — Consumer protection groups lose stronger transparency measures about digital identity relying parties.7
Response to: COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) …/... laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the registration of wallet-relying parties and the common mechanism for the identification and authentication of wallet-relying parties

Amazon Seeks Transparency in EU Digital Identity Wallet Attributes

23 Dec 2024

Amazon urges stricter limits on researcher data access

2 Dec 2024
Feedback on — New framework for vetted researchers accessing data from large online platforms.
Their ask — Amazon requests substantial changes to the draft regulation, including requiring user consent before data sharing, limiting data access to quantitative datasets only, and giving platforms rights to review research before publication. They argue the current draft poses risks to personal data protection and platform security.123
How it helps them — This would reduce compliance burdens and protect their systems from security vulnerabilities.45
Who loses — Independent researchers lose broad access to platform data for studying systemic risks.6
Response to: COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) …/... supplementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 of the European Parliament and of the Council by laying down the technical conditions and procedures under which providers of very large online platforms and of very large online search engines are to share data pursuant to Article 40 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065

Amazon urges EU to mandate passkey support in digital wallets

9 Sept 2024
Feedback on — EU regulation establishing technical standards for European Digital Identity Wallets.
Their ask — Amazon recommends that wallets support passkeys for authentication and requests confirmation that passkeys are acceptable authenticators. They want wallet providers required to act as passkey providers or use OS-level credential managers.12
How it helps them — This would allow Amazon's existing passkey authentication system to integrate seamlessly with EU wallets.3
Who loses — Alternative authentication providers lose market access if passkeys become the mandatory standard.4
Response to: COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) …/... laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council, as regards the integrity and core functionalities of European Digital Identity Wallets

Amazon urges clearer definitions in EU digital wallet rules

9 Sept 2024
Feedback on — EU regulation on European Digital Identity Wallets for person identification and attribute attestation.
Their ask — Amazon requests clearer definitions for legal persons versus natural persons, and wants wallet providers to support all PID providers based on open standards. They also seek clarification on certificate boundaries for relying parties and want wallet holders able to revoke their own PIDs.1234
How it helps them — This would enable Amazon to use digital wallets for account creation with pseudonymous authentication.56
Who loses — Privacy advocates lose stronger protections if email and mobile become mandatory attributes.7
Response to: COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) …/... laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards person identification data and electronic attestations of attributes issued to European Digital Identity Wallets

Amazon Urges EU to Update Digital Wallet Security Standards

9 Sept 2024
Feedback on — EU regulation on protocols and interfaces for European Digital Identity Wallets.
Their ask — Amazon requests the requirement be changed to allow the most current version of ISO standards, not just the 2021 version. They argue listing version 5 will be outdated before platforms must comply.12
How it helps them — This would allow Amazon to use newer, more secure protocols without waiting for regulatory amendments.34
Who loses — Regulators lose control over which specific protocol versions are mandated for compliance.

Amazon warns EU telecom rules would harm cloud adoption and AI goals

28 Jun 2024
Feedback on — EU white paper on digital infrastructure needs and telecom regulation.
Their ask — Amazon opposes extending telecom regulations to cloud providers and introducing network fees on CDNs. They argue there is no market failure justifying intervention. They want the Commission to focus on stimulating demand for connectivity through content innovation rather than regulating interconnection.123
How it helps them — This would prevent new compliance costs and allow continued operation under existing rules.45
Who loses — European consumers would face higher prices as content providers pass on interconnection fees.6

Amazon seeks flexibility in product recall notice format

19 Feb 2024
Feedback on — EU template for written product safety recall notices under new regulations.
Their ask — Amazon requests flexibility in how online stores notify customers about recalls, arguing each platform should choose the most effective channels and formats. They want confirmation that meeting information requirements matters more than using a specific template.12
How it helps them — This would let them use their existing notification systems without mandatory template compliance.34
Who loses — Consumers may receive inconsistent recall information across different marketplaces and stores.

Amazon urges EU to incentivize e-commerce packaging design

17 Apr 2023
Feedback on — EU regulation on packaging waste reduction, recycling, and circular economy requirements.
Their ask — Amazon requests that packaging designed for e-commerce be recognized and incentivized as a waste reduction measure. They want companies operating primarily online to get credit for using packaging that eliminates secondary materials. They also seek flexibility in meeting the 40% empty space requirement by calculating it across all shipments rather than per individual package.123
How it helps them — This would let them count existing programs toward regulatory targets without costly system changes.45
Who loses — Environmental groups lose stronger waste reduction requirements that apply uniformly to all shipments.6
Response to: Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on packaging and packaging waste, amending Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 and Directive (EU) 2019/904, and repealing Directive 94/62/EC

Amazon urges EU to coordinate space security with NATO allies

10 Feb 2023
Feedback on — EU strategy to enhance resilience of European space systems for security and defense.
Their ask — Amazon requests that EU security requirements be based on international standards and best practices, coordinate closely with NATO and UN partners, and take a holistic view of both governmental and commercial satellite services.123
How it helps them — This would allow them to leverage existing AWS security infrastructure and compete globally with unified standards.45
Who loses — European competitors lose if Amazon can use existing US security certifications instead of separate EU requirements.6

Amazon urges trader complaint handling before mandatory ADR

21 Dec 2022
Feedback on — EU modernization of alternative dispute resolution framework for consumer disputes.
Their ask — Amazon requests that ADR remain voluntary and that consumers must exhaust traders' internal complaint processes before accessing ADR services. They want safeguards preventing ADR for repeat violators, fraudulent claims, or frivolous complaints.123
How it helps them — This would protect them from costs and administrative burden of frivolous claims.45
Who loses — Consumers lose direct access to independent dispute resolution when dissatisfied with Amazon's decisions.6
Response to: Proposal to amend Directive 2013/11/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 on alternative dispute resolution for consumer disputes and to repeal Regulation (EU) No 524/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 on online dispute resolution for consumer disputes

Amazon urges product-specific ecodesign rules to avoid double-regulation

21 Jun 2022
Feedback on — New EU regulation setting ecodesign requirements for sustainable products and digital product passports.
Their ask — Amazon requests ecodesign requirements be set product-by-product rather than horizontally, with sufficient implementation time. They want clear protections for trade secrets in digital product passports and standardized information templates. The company opposes joint liability provisions and asks for distinctions between new and damaged goods in destruction reporting.12345
How it helps them — This would reduce compliance complexity and protect proprietary information from competitors.678
Who loses — Enforcement authorities lose monitoring power over Amazon's marketplace for non-compliant products.910
Response to: Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL establishing a framework for setting ecodesign requirements for sustainable products and repealing Directive 2009/125/EC

Amazon urges flexibility for private sustainability labels

27 May 2022
Feedback on — EU proposal to strengthen consumer protection against greenwashing and premature obsolescence.
Their ask — Amazon requests that private sustainability labels with third-party verification remain permitted, not just government-approved schemes. They want aggregator programs like Climate Pledge Friendly exempted from generic environmental claims restrictions. They seek clarification on software update disclosure requirements.1234
How it helps them — This would allow Amazon to continue its Climate Pledge Friendly program without regulatory restrictions.56
Who loses — Consumers lose stronger protections against confusing private labels that lack independent oversight.7
Response to: Proposal for a DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL amending Directives 2005/29/EC and 2011/83/EU as regards empowering consumers for the green transition through better protection against unfair practices and better information

Amazon urges industry data-sharing to combat counterfeits

2 Mar 2022
Feedback on — EU initiative to enhance fight against counterfeiting through coordinated action.
Their ask — Amazon advocates for enhanced information exchange between customs agencies, marketplaces, and logistics providers to stop counterfeit products at borders. They support voluntary information sharing among industry and between public and private sectors. The company also calls for increased government resources for law enforcement to prosecute counterfeiters and raise public awareness.123

Amazon urges industry-led standards over mandatory product sustainability rules

3 Nov 2020
Feedback on — EU initiative to make products more durable, repairable, and recyclable.
Their ask — Amazon requests that sustainability standards remain voluntary and industry-led rather than legally mandated. They want any new requirements developed within the existing Ecodesign framework, and propose digital product information tools to reduce administrative burdens. They also seek VAT relief for donations of unsold goods.123
How it helps them — This would avoid mandatory compliance costs and allow flexible, voluntary adoption of standards.45

21 Sept 2020

Their ask — Amazon requests that the EU use the RED revision to improve market access for corporate power purchase agreements and voluntary renewable energy purchasing.

How it helps them — This would help Amazon reach its goal of 100% renewable energy by 2025.34
