EU court confirms billion-dollar fine ag • Table.Briefings

Back in 2018, the Commission fined Google €4.34 billion. Google took legal action against the fine and lost. The court reduced the fine only slightly. The court’s decision strengthens the Commission‘s back for the implementation of the DMA, says an expert.

Once again, Google has suffered a defeat before the General Court of the European Union. The court largely upheld the Commission’s decision from 2018, according to which Google imposed unlawful restrictions on manufacturers of mobile devices with the Android operating system and mobile network operators in order to strengthen the dominant position of its search engine. However, the court found fault with some procedural errors and reduced the fine from €4.34 billion to €4.125 billion.
