BRUSSELS: An improved offer by Microsoft to settle the antitrust concerns of European Union regulators fails to tackle many issues, industry group ECIS said on Wednesday.

"ECIS notes that the settlement does not appear to deal with the inadequacies of Microsoft's standards compliance, unfair pricing practices or other concerns related to patent abuse or standards manipulation," the group said in a statement.

ECIS members include IBM, Nokia, Oracle Corp and Sun Microsystems.

The European Commission said on Wednesday it would seek comments from consumers, software makers and computer manufacturers on remedies offered by Microsoft to tackle competition concerns over its browser.
