In response to the recent decision by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to unanimously vote to end its investigation into Google, the European Commission has sent a wake-up call to the search giant and its supporters: a win in the U.S. does not necessarily mean a win in Europe. A spokesperson for the Commission acknowledged to reporters the recent FTC ruling and noted, “we don’t see that it has any direct implications for our investigation, for our discussions with Google, which are ongoing,” emphasizing that the FTC’s decision will not impact the Commission’s decision in any way.
