Alphabet’s Google is set to sketch out to the European Union’s antitrust authority on Tuesday, August 29, how it plans to implement the regulator’s recent order to stop illegally tipping the scales in favor of its own comparison-shopping service, according to Reuters.
The European Commission (EC), which has for roughly seven years been investigating Google for breaching the bloc’s antitrust rules in various areas, in June fined Google a record €2.42 billion (US$2.91 billion) for discriminating against rival comparison-shopping sites in search rankings.
As part of the decision, the EC at the time also ordered Google to overhaul its shopping search results by late September so that the company treats its competitors’ offerings and its own shopping service equally.
Google was due to notify the EC by Tuesday about how it plans to implement the decision — a deadline it is expected to meet, according to the people. Google declined to provide any details of the pending proposal.
