The European Commission has asked Amazon to provide more information about the way in which it will comply with the Digital Services Act (DSA).
The online giant must provide the information to the commission by 28 July and outline how it intends to meet the obligations.
"In particular, Amazon is asked to provide detailed information on its compliance with the provisions concerning transparency of the recommender systems," the EU said in a statement.
The legislation, which came into force last year, requires tech giants to do more to address harmful and illegal content on their platforms.
In March, Amazon lost an appeal at the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) to suspend a requirement regarding its online advertising in the bloc.
The company argued it did not meet the description of ‘very large online platforms’ and did not need to meet the strict rules required of companies in the category.
In November last year, the EU Commission formally requested Amazon to provide more information on the steps it had taken in relation to risk assessments and mitigation measures to protect its customers online under the rules of the DSA. It was particularly interested in the sale of potentially illegal products.
