Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia said in a statement that while discussions have advanced between the European Commission and Google, Inc. over an outstanding antitrust case with the search engine, there is no hard deadline for a decision to be reached. The case stems from allegations that Google is abusing its dominance by forcing users to its own services instead of its competitors, among other charges. Commissioner Almunia said that he cannot comment on what he believes the outcome of the case would be.
