EU launches antitrust inquiry into Google 'dominance'
Wayne Brooker at Thursday 25th February filed under Competitions
"The European Commission has launched a preliminary antitrust inquiry into
Google after three companies complained that the US giant's dominant search
engine penalises potential competitors and keeps advertising prices
artificially high.
The European Commission has written to Google to find out how its search functions work, following allegations from the UK price comparison site Foundem, an online French guide to legal services, ejustice.fr and the Germany-based shopping portal Ciao, owned by Microsoft."
