Google continues to violate competition policies, says some of the plaintiff. Google is considered irrational.
Dose -a -european sites for comparison prices filed court claims against Google reaching more than € 12 billion, accusing the company of unfair competition, Bloomberg reports.
The claims became possible after the European Commission’s decision, which Google confirmed that Google violated Antitrust laws, promoting its own purchase service to the destruction of competitors.
Today, at least 12 claims are considered in seven EU countries, of which nine are more than € 12 billion. Some things are approaching the hearing. In particular, in June in London, the court will consider British Kelkoo and Foundem a lawsuit for € 1.4 billion, and in September in Amsterdam the process of the Netherlands lawsuit compare the group will begin.
New claims join this list. So, last month, the Netherlands filed a collective lawsuit for € 900 million on behalf of the German preisroboter and Portuguese Kutokusta. The Italian Moltiply Group SA also made a complaint about € 2.97 billion, claiming that his service Trovaprezzi had brought serious losses from 2010 to 2017.
Some plaintiffs have increased the value of their requirements, claiming that Google continues to violate competition policies.
Google, in turn, denied accusations and claimed that since 2017 it has provided equal conditions for all service comparison services. The company calls claims that it is unreasonable and believes they are behind competitors who “seek easy money rather than build their own platforms.”
We will remind you, earlier it was reported that Google had lost in the case of a monopoly in the field of advertising technologies.
