BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The operating system Android, Google, increases competition instead of harm her, said the lawyer general’s company said on Thursday, rebutting accusations antitrust of the European Union that uses its platform to stifle rivals.
The comments from general counsel Kent Walker in a blog post came a week after the company reject another charge of the EU have promoted unfairly in your shopping service and blocked the results of competitors in the search engine online.
The case of Android could be the most harmful to Google. The operating system yielded about 31 billion dollars in revenue and 22 billion dollars in profits for Google since its launch in 2008, said an Oracle lawyer on a court in the United States in January.
Walker said that the Commission got it wrong, ignoring the rivalry fierce with Apple, the needs of application developers and the dangers of modified versions of Android.
“The response that we present today shows how the ecosystem of the Android carefully balances the interests of users, developers, device manufacturers and mobile network operators. The Android has not harmed the competition, he expanded it,” he said.
the spokesman of The Commission, Ricardo Cardoso, has confirmed the receipt of the response from Google.
