Differences between the European Commission and Google over antitrust concerns have been substantially narrowed, said Competition Policy Commissioner Joaquín Almunia Wednesday. Google is under fire to resolve four competition issues: (1) The way its vertical search services are displayed within general search results as compared to rivals’ services. (2) How it may use and display third-party content on its vertical search services. (3) Exclusivity agreements to deliver Google search products on other websites. (4) Restrictions in the portability of AdWords advertising campaigns. After meeting with Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt, Almunia decided to continue trying to reach an agreement, he said. Based on the progress made, Almunia has given the search giant until January to propose detailed antitrust commitments. The EC will then prepare a preliminary assessment of its competition concerns, after which Google’s proposed solution will be market-tested with a view toward binding conditions, he said.
