Re: The Continuing Decline of Google Search - 2013
EU is in the progress of investigating Google under the antitrust laws, for providing biased search results. They are in the hearing process now, where they seek input on the proposed solution, which they will require Google to adhere to. Once they have settled on their - administrative - decision, it will become binding. If a company breaks such commitments, the Commission can impose a fine of up to 10% of its annual worldwide turnover without having to find an infringement of the EU antitrust rules. Even Google will be able to feel that.
