According to reports, recently, after Google was fined $9.7 billion in three antitrust cases, an EU official finally said something good to the Internet giant.
On Wednesday, Olivier Guersent , head of the European Commission’s antitrust department, told the outside world that Google provides consumers with more choices in shopping search results, which is a “good , Positive development” . Gelsent’s evaluation may ease the threat of new fines facing Google in this regard.
Smaller shopping search service providers complain that Google has not fully complied with the 2017 decree, which requires that competitors’ search results be included in product advertisements above the search results. However, Gelsenter said at a recent online meeting of regulators that the number of competitors appearing in Google Shopping ads has increased significantly, while the number was zero before the EU took action in 2017.
Gelsent warned that the role of the EU is to stop anti-competitive behavior and restore a fair market competition environment, not to allow a certain competitor to win more business or obtain compensation.
He said: “For us, the goal of taking any action is to re-establish competition.” “I don’t think there is any authority in the world that can ensure the occurrence of a specific market competition. In this regard, I think we even You shouldn’t even think about it.”
