(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
Europe's second-top court on Wednesday upheld an EU antitrust
decision against Alphabet unit google for using its Android mobile
operating system to quash rivals but trimmed the record fine to
4.125 billion euros ($4.12 billion) from 4.34 billion, Trend reports with reference
to TASS .
'The General Court largely confirms the Commission's decision
that Google imposed unlawful restrictions on manufacturers of
Android mobile devices and mobile Network operators in order to
consolidate the dominant position of its search engine,' the court
said.
'In order better to reflect the gravity and duration of the
infringement, the General Court considers it appropriate however to
impose a fine of €4.125 billion on Google, its reasoning differing
in certain respects from that of the Commission,' judges said.
The case is T-604/18 Google vs European Commission.
