Nov 25 (Reuters) - The European Commission on Monday
said U.S. maker of break resisting glass Corning had
offered to waive all exclusive deals with mobile phone
manufactures to address concerns over possible anticompetitive
behaviour.
The EU earlier this month said it started an antitrust
investigation over exclusive supply deals between Corning and
mobile phone makers like Apple ( AAPL ) and raw glass processing
companies that may exclude rival glass producers from large
segments of the market.
Corning sells a break resistant glass used as a cover for
mobile phones, tablets and smart watches under the Gorilla Glass
brand.
As part of its proposed concessions, the company also
pledged to drop purchase requirements made to companies and to
stop offering price advantages conditional on such requirements.
