  • Submission to the CMA on Deliveroo
    CCIA’s submission to the UK Competition & Markets Authority on the CMA’s provisional findings in Amazon / Deliveroo 11 May 2020 1. Introduction The Computer and Communications Industry Association (“CCIA”) is grateful for this opportunity to share its views on the Competition & Markets Authority (“CMA”) provisional findings regarding Amazon’s acquisition of a minority shareholding in Deliveroo (“the Transaction”).1 CCIA represents large, medium, and small companies in the high technology products and services sectors, including computer hardware and software, electronic commerce, telecommunications, and Internet products and services.2 CCIA is committed to protecting and advancing the interests of our members, the industry as a whole, as well as society’s beneficial interest in open markets, open systems and open networks.3 CCIA agrees with the conclusion of the Provisional Findings that the Transaction would not be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition.4 However, CCIA believes there is significant evidence of competitive constraints faced by both Amazon and Deliveroo (the “Parties”), and the dynamic nature of the markets. Accordingly, CCIA submits that, even in the absence of the current crisis,5 the Transaction would not have resulted in a substantial lessening of competition (“SLC”) and would not have harmed customers.6 2. Competitive Constraint of Potential Entry and Expansion In its 11 December 2019 Phase I decision,7 the CMA found an SLC to the detriment of customers and referred the case for an in-depth investigation. As the CMA correctly notes in its Provisional Findings, “[a]n SLC occurs when rivalry is substantially less intense after a merger than would otherwise have been the case, resulting in a worse outcome for customers (through, for example, higher prices, reduced quality or reduced choice).”8 CCIA understands that the market for online food delivery in the UK is highly competitive and likely to become more competitive in the future.

It is an EPSRC-funded project that began in April 2016 and continues until August 2019. Freight transport currently makes up around 16% of all road vehicle activity in our cities and by 2030, the EU would like to see largely CO2-free logistics systems operating in our urban centres. With van traffic predicted to increase by 20% in London by 2030, and the uptake of alternatively fuelled and electric goods vehicles slow, more radical strategies are needed to reduce the numbers and impacts of freight vehicles in our cities. Working with parcel carriers in London, this project will examine the potential for closer operational collaboration between carriers to reduce urban traffic and energy demand whilst maintaining customer service levels, and evaluate to what extent such relationships can develop naturally within a commercial setting or whether a 3rd party ‘Freight Traffic Controller’ (FTC) would be necessary to ensure equitable distribution of demand across a city.
