Abstract

In this paper, Elena Perotti analyses the last seven years of the European Commission’s antitrust proceedings involving Google (AT.39.740). She reports on the search giant’s negotiations with Vice-President Joaquín Almunia between 2010 and 2014, and then on the current status of the procedure under Margrethe Vestager.

Elena details the position of news media publishers regarding the European case in particular, and Google and antitrust in general. She concludes with an overview of the antitrust probes in Google’s business practices the world over.

Keywords: Google, Antitrust, Vestager, Almunia, European Commission
