The EU doesn't need international authority to apply their laws worldwide. They just do it.
But antitrust generally relies on marketshare as a yardstick for market power. And neither Amazon nor the Depository has enough global or european share for even the most paranoid to invoke antitrust.
Note that Amazon doesn't buy companies for market share; their history is of buying companies for their technology, business model, and/or personnel. And for their growth potential.
They also have a track record of allowing their acquisitions autonomous operation, from Mobipocket to Diapers.com. Check here for a listing of some of Amazon's many businesses.
