Add as preferred source on GoogleSAP offers concessions to settle EU antitrust probe, including easier software switching and fee clarity, with no expected financial impact.
BRUSSELS (Reuters) -SAP has offered to make it easier for customers to switch to rival software, clarify the basis for its fees, and abolish its reinstatement fee as part of concessions proposed to settle an EU antitrust probe, the European Commission said on Friday.
The remedies, which Reuters reported earlier this month were on the way, seek to address issues raised by the EU.
The Commission said it is inviting interested parties to submit their views.
SAP said in a statement that it did not expect the probe to impact its financial performance.
"We are adhering to the procedure and timeline established by the European Commission," it said. "We do not anticipate the proceeding will result in material impacts on our financial performance."

Antitrust refers to laws and regulations that promote competition and prevent monopolies in the marketplace. These laws aim to protect consumers from unfair business practices and ensure a fair market environment.
The European Commission is the executive branch of the European Union responsible for proposing legislation, implementing decisions, and managing the day-to-day operations of the EU, including enforcing antitrust laws.
A reinstatement fee is a charge imposed by a company when a customer wishes to restore a service or account that has been canceled or terminated. This fee is often associated with subscription services or loans.
