According to reports, Google announced today that it has filed an appeal against the 4.3 billion euro (about 4.5 billion U.S. dollars) Android antitrust fine imposed by the European Union in 2018.
Google said in a statement today: “Some places still need legal clarification. Android creates more choice for everyone, not less, and supports thousands of successful businesses in Europe and around the world.”
The case originated in July 2018, when the European Commission announced that it would impose an antitrust fine of 4.3 billion euros on Google. The reason is that Google, with its dominant position in the Internet search market, has made some illegal restrictions on Android device manufacturers and mobile operators.
Google subsequently appealed the EU ruling. In September this year, the second highest court in Europe, the “General Court of the European Union”, made a ruling that Google abused its market dominance in the mobile search market, but reduced the fine from the previous 4.3 billion euros to 4.125 billion euros (about 43 billion euros). One hundred million U.S. dollars).
In October, a Google spokesman said: “We are preparing to appeal to the European Court of Justice, the highest court in Europe.” According to regulations, the deadline for Google to submit a lawsuit is December 1 this year. Today, Google submitted its appeal documents before the deadline.
In addition to the Android antitrust fine, the EU also fined Google Shopping and AdSense advertising services 2.4 billion euros and 1.5 billion euros respectively. Google has also appealed the two fines.
