Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The European Union's laws define more conduct as anticompetitive compared to U.S. laws. The EU has a stricter approach to exclusive dealing schemes and considers them as anticompetitive in most cases. Therefore, Flash Search's exclusive dealing scheme would likely be considered anticompetitive under EU law and harm Etoile Metrics.
