Spain imposes a "tax on Google"

Came to work today, read the latest news. I came across this article on the respected news resource ria.ru.

Quotation:
The majority of deputies of the Spanish parliament on October 30 voted for the adoption of amendments to the law on intellectual property, according to which Internet users will have to pay for content found in search engines, reports The Local.
UPD.: The news was not quite correctly translated, ria.ru fixed it.

At first I was horrified. Well, everything, I think - it seems, among the organs of state. The authorities began a pandemic of the disease "it is necessary to optimize the Internet." I decided to look for English-language resources on this issue. To start, went to the source listed on ria.ru.

Honestly, all my life I thought that it’s not so bad for me with English. If someone thinks the same way about himself - try your hand at translating the most interesting paragraph of the article with thelocal.es:
Under the so-called "Google tax", it is a text.

I honestly read it several times. Did not help. It turned out too complicated for me.

Fortunately, there was an article in the news from Yahoo! , which was written easier:
If you’re a newsletter, you’ll be able to get a charge of information.

In short: search engines can now be charged for displaying publications from the media in a search engine.

The tax will begin to apply very soon:
The changes are set on January 1st, 2015.

Google, which is typical, unhappy.

So in conclusion ... I don’t know if it slipped here before, but I haven’t heard it yet. From the same article on The Local:
Spain’s Digital Newsletter Günther Oettinger plans to make it out.

In general, in a year this is planned to be introduced throughout the EU.

PS Interestingly, Spain - they have such a test site, or what?
