EU Preparing To File Formal Antitrust Charges Against Google, Says Report



Digital Marketing Agency, The European Union (EU) has announced that Google could be soon faced with antitrust charges brought by European competitors. This came just days after U.K. consumers were granted the right to take Google to court over privacy issues.
According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, Margrethe Vestager, who late last year succeeded Joaquín Almunia as the European Commission’s antitrust chief, is reportedly readying formal charges.
One Brussels-based lawyer representing a Google rival in the case said: “The fact that the commission has been seeking fuller [information] from complainants, against short deadlines [of] a couple of days, shows it is in the final stages of getting a statement of objections together. It’s part of the choreography you always see.”
