Google filed an appeal on Tuesday against the amount of 4,34 billion that it has to pay because it violates EU antitrust regulations, CNET announced.
In July we passed, the European Commission fined Google for the company's restrictions on Android device manufacturers and network operators. The imposition of restrictions aimed to “consolidate the company's dominant position in search of the Internet."
In particular, the European Commission announced that the case concerned three types of restrictions imposed by Google:
- Requiring manufacturers to pre-install Google Search and Chrome as a condition for granting Google licenses Play Store.
- Making payments to some major manufacturers and mobile operators, provided they pre-install the Google Search application
- Prevent manufacturers who wanted to pre-install Google apps on any Android mobile device running Android smart forks.
In response to the allegations, Google CEO Sundar Pichai published an article on the company's blog in July entitled "Android has created more options, not less" or in English:Android has created more choice, not less."
Let's say that Google is already facing another European Commission decision. Last year, the Commission fined the company €2,4 billion for being unfair to service of her purchases.
