According to a German Paper before the summer break, the EU is planning to penalize Alphabet's Google a triple-digit million-euro amount. The reason behind the largest fine the EU has imposed is Alphabet's Google due to the breach of the Digital Markets Act that aims to curb big tech companies power. This investigation was announced in March due to concerns that Google favours its own services in search results.
EU Commission spokesperson Regnier said that they are more interested in securing compliance in an emailed statement. When it comes to negotiations on future solutions, they may take serious actions. Google has criticised the impact of the EU protocols on its search product. The company spokesperson said that they have made changes to Search under the DMA. After the previous proposal from the company fell short, the European Commission said that it gave enough time to Google to address the concerns.
