Soon after the European Commission announced renewed antitrust complaints against Google concerning its Android mobile application, Commissioner Joaquin Almunia offered an interview with the media in which he suggested a settlement is likely in the cards for the search giant. The remarks, made in an interviewing following the news against Android, suggest the Commission will take the “labeling” approach when deciding what to do with Google, where Almunia suggested Google will likely be required to label, or brand, search results that come directly from Google. The results, say reports, will likely mirror those of the US Federal Trade Commission, which voted unanimously to drop charges against the search giant for a settlement.
