BRUSSELS, May 16 (Reuters) - Microsoft ( MSFT ) has

offered to sell its Office product without Teams at a lower

price than Office with Teams as well as offer rivals better

interoperability access to its services and products, EU

antitrust regulators said on Friday.

The European Commission said it was now going to seek

feedback from rivals and customers before deciding whether to

accept the offer. Reuters was the first to report about the move

earlier this week.

Microsoft's ( MSFT ) offer would bring an end to a long-running case

triggered by a 2020 complaint by Salesforce ( CRM )-owned Slack,

which could have resulted in a hefty antitrust fine for the U.S.

tech giant.

Microsoft's ( MSFT ) Vice President for European Government Affairs

Nanna-Louise Linde said in a blogpost that the proposal was a

clear and complete resolution to concerns raised by rivals and

would give Europeans more choice.
