EU: Rumors swirl over Google’s supposed eleventh-hour proposals to Commission
In what was later picked up by news outlets, lobbying group ICOMP tweeted Thursday morning that it has received reports that Google has, in fact, submitted remedy proposals to the European Commission. Google’s deadline to do so was at midnight. The reports come a day after reports that Almunia joked about Google potentially missing its deadline to submit the proposals during a press conference. Google is under investigation by the European Commission for alleged abuse of dominance over the methods the search giant uses to display search results. A spokesperson for the Commission did not confirm or deny these reports, though reiterated that Google had until midnight to submit their proposals. Google similarly declined to comment on the matter.
