The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has confirmed the sanction that: the European Commission imposed Google in 2018 by means of competition infringement practices in the field of mobile operating systems, specifically in relation to the operation of the Play Store app store.
The European Commission’s sanction against Google has been confirmed by the Court of Justice of the European Union
In spite of the small reduction in amount this is still the highest in history: 4.125 million eurosof the EUR 4,343 million originally foreseen in the European Commission’s decision.
The 5% reduction in the amount is due to the final rejection of one of the elements considered by the European justice system regarding the payment allegations, which Google would make to some manufacturers so that they could exclude their search engine. could install.
What is sanctioned is the abuse of Google’s dominant position by offering its mobile applications and services in the form of an inalienable and indivisible package to all those manufacturers who agreed to the license to use the Play Store, for which had to include both the Google search engine and the Chrome browser on their devices along with access to the application store itself.
This practice is seen by European Union regulators as an abuse of a dominant position, reducing the incentive for device manufacturers to install similar or equivalent applications from other competitors.
Since the start of this process in 2018, Google has taken several measures in line with Brussels requirements, such as the selection screen or the options that allow users to change the default browser on mobile devices.
The judgment of the CJEU is subject to appeal, so we will have to wait for the resolution of that appeal by Google.
