search giant is again under scrutiny of the European Commission.

In recent months the European Commission has been at Google as a gadfly, and it does not seem to be slowing anytime soon.

accused of having abused the position
According to EU Commissioner Margrethe Vestager Google may have abused its dominant position and violated EU competition rules by restricting competitors’ opportunities to publish your ads on pages of third parties.

“today we have further substantiated our assertion that Google unreasonably have favored its own price comparison service in the general search results. It means that consumers do not necessarily see the most relevant search results, “writes West Villager in a press release.

” Google has developed many innovative products that have made a difference to our everyday lives, but it does not give Google the right to deprive other businesses the opportunity to compete and innovate, “said EU commissioner.

Google has now ten weeks in which to respond to the European Commission’s objections.

More accusing
in April accused the European Commission for Google to leverage its dominant position in the market by including forcing manufacturers to pre-install Google Search and Google Chrome, as well as to set Google as your default browser.

the European Commission also claims that Google prevents producers in selling smart mobile devices running on another, rival operating system based on Android open source code.
