Google can make an agreement with the European Commission on the case of monopoly in the market

This month, information appeared about the possibility of a potential lawsuit against Google - representatives of the European Commission accused the company of unfair competition in the search engine market. The main complaints were the ranking of shops and services in search - Google traditionally gives preference to its own services, which may violate antitrust conditions.

But unlike the forecasts of a potential lawsuit, the company can meet the requirements of the European Commission and make changes to its search service. According to sources from Reuters, after three unsuccessful attempts to win similar lawsuits since 2010, Google has almost ceased to seek to delay court proceedings.

Now Google is more interested in the peaceful settlement of emerging disputes, but the Danish Commissioner Margaret Vestager did not show a desire to resolve the judicial process.

For Google, this case is of great importance, since if the European Commission wins, the company may lose a potential part of the income, as well as create a precedent for further lawsuits.

"If we consider from the point of view of profit, then it would be more profitable for Google to delay the matter as much as possible, after which it would pay a fine, which would still be significantly less compared to the potential profit," Reuters reports .

But after concluding a deal with one of the main competitors in the person of Microsoft, the Google management can agree on an agreement with the European Commission. In the future, this solution will allow Google to reduce the likelihood of a new business with representatives of other EU departments, as well as to avoid the penalty that Microsoft once faced in a similar case. Then the company was forced to pay $ 2.5 billion fine.
