That means, for example, that it was not acceptable for Amazon to sell grapes listing 13 possible countries of origins or deliver mangoes grown in Israel when the website listed their country of origin as Senegal, dpa reported. AdAmazon told the court it had already adjusted its practices after the initial ruling last year.
