BERLIN, June 2 (Reuters) - Germany's federal cartel

office on Monday expressed concern about Amazon's ( AMZN ) use

of so-called price control mechanisms, saying in a statement

that "this could constitute an abuse under the special

provisions for large digital companies."

A spokesperson for Amazon ( AMZN ) responded by saying that the

company did "not agree with the Bundeskartellamt's assessment in

any way."

"If Amazon ( AMZN ) is now prevented from helping customers find

competitive deals, it will lead to a poor shopping experience as

we would have to favour uncompetitive or even abusive prices in

our store," the spokesperson said.
