EU to Ask More of Google
BRUSSELS — The European Union’s competition watchdog is likely to ask Google Inc. to make further concessions to address the concerns of competitors who have complained about the way the Internet search giant displays results, EU Commissioner Joaquin Almunia said Tuesday.
“This market test should have been concluded yesterday, but at the request of some participants we have decided to prolong [by] one month the market test, so at the end of June we will receive the answers,” Mr. Almunia said in the European Parliament. “After we will analyze the responses … we will ask Google probably, I can’t anticipate this formally but almost 100%, we will ask Google to improve the proposals.”
