EU Wants More Search Concessions, Google Defies French Authority

Round and round she goes. The European Commission is seeking a final round of “concessions” from Google in an 11th hour effort to settle potential antitrust claims against the company.EU Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia made public statements asserting that Google needs to deliver additional, revised proposals within weeks to avoid a formal antitrust proceeding. What we have now is a kind of high stakes game of chicken.

For well over a year there has been a very public back and forth between Google, the European Commission and Google’s rivals, who object to the various proposals floated to date. The chief concern or sticking point involves the presentation of  ”Google content” above third party organic links.
