At Google’s Big Tent event, executive chairman Eric Schmidt said that he disagreed with the European Commission’s view that the search company has violated EU antitrust law. Schmidt said that he has not received details on the Commission’s investigation or findings, and that Joaquín Almunia’s letter to him encouraging a settlement was all the information he had. Schmidt and Almunia have scheduled a meeting in the near future.
