EU: Rumors swirl over Google’s supposed eleventh-hour proposals to Commission
In what was later picked up by news outlets, lobbying group ICOMP tweeted Thursday morning that it has received reports that Google has, in fact, submitted remedy proposals to the European Commission.

A spokesperson for the Commission did not confirm or deny these reports, though reiterated that Google had until midnight to submit their proposals. Google similarly declined to comment on the matter.
