EU sees no compliance issues in Google shopping, rivals disagree


BRUSSELS: Europe's antitrust chief said on May 22 she did not see any problems with the way Google was complying with her order to boost competition in online shopping, brushing aside complaints from some of the US company's rivals.

Hit with a €2.4bil (RM11.25bil) EU fine two years ago for unfairly promoting its own comparison shopping service, Google has since offered to allow competitors to bid for advertising space at the top of a search page, giving them the chance to compete on equal terms.
