In a recently released report, Reuters has revealed that the European Union (EU)’s last-week-announced decision with regard to an antitrust case against Google is apparently a result of official complaints filed by 19 companies in Europe and the US.
The report, citing unnamed sources “familiar with the matter,” has revealed that the 19 complainants opposing Google’s antitrust practices include a number of big as well as small companies, including US software giant Microsoft. Some of the complainants reportedly do not even have any direct involvement with Google Shopping.
The complainants include French legal search engine eJustic; UK price comparison site Foundem; German business listings site VfT; and German magazine and newspaper publishers VDZ and BDZV.
