Practices anti-competition in Android can be fine to Google – Follow

the wars between Google and the European Commission to drag on for many years already, as a rule, focused on anti-competitive practices, which have jumped between the products that the firm offers.

the Documents that came now to the public to give an account of a final decision of the EU. Google must stop all their practices against the competition or you will be fined and the amount to apply will be very high.

A document of 150 pages of the entity of the European Union which regulates anti-competitive practices, to which Reuters had access, shows clearly that the decision about the case that exists against Google will be close to finished.

The decision is made and goes in the direction of sort to Google that immediately stop paying incentives to manufacturers to these to install your applications and your search engine on an exclusive basis. The objective is, thus, open the doors so that all may have their share of the market, without the dominance of any party.

But, if Google does not accept this decision and continue with their practices, the EU is ready to fine the company, making her an example for the future. There is, for now, a value is set, but the document obtained speaks in a high percentage of profit that Google gets from advertising, the coming of the AddSense and AddMob, and sales of the store your applications.

The origin of the investigation against Google came from FairSearch, an organization that fights against the dominance of Google and its practices. According to this, since 2011, Google has sought to influence the manufacturers and try that only their products are present in Android.

Google, however already reacted and, in a statement, announced that it hopes to show the European Union that the Android was created in an open, stimulating competition and benefit to consumers.

We look forward to showing the European Commission that we’ve designed the Android model in a way that’s good for both competition and consumers, and supports innovation across the region.

This is a case that puts you face to face Google and the European Union, always anti-competitive practices and that, as a rule, do not lead to major changes. The EU seems to be now more firm and prepared to impose fines that will serve as an example.
