BRUSSELS, Sept 1 (Reuters) - ⁠The licensing practices of U.S. cloud computing ⁠company Oracle are on the radar of ‌EU antitrust regulators, a person familiar with the matter said, in a case similar to one involving German rival ​SAP which was settled with ⁠concessions in July.

The European ⁠Commission, which acts as the EU competition enforcer, is ⁠seeking ‌information from third parties on the issue, the person said.

This could help ⁠regulators build up a case or drop ​it if ‌there is no evidence of any wrongdoing.

Oracle did ⁠not ​immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.

"The commission will continue to monitor possible further anticompetitive practices ⁠and abusive conduct in this ​sector. At this stage, however, there is no formal investigation into any company," a commission spokesperson said.

In ⁠July, SAP offered to make it easier for customers to switch to rival service providers or end their contracts, averting a potential fine that ​could be as much ⁠as 10% of its global annual turnover.

News agency MLex ​was the first to report ‌on the EU scrutiny ​of Oracle's licensing practices.
