Google investigated over Android business practices: the Commission strikes again

7 July 2016

The European Commission has issued a statement of objections to Google, alleging that Google has potentially abused a dominant position in the markets in the EEA for general internet search services, licensable smart mobile operating systems and app stores for the Android mobile operating system. The Commission believes that Google’s business practices may affect the ability of rival mobile browsers to compete, and may hinder the development of operating systems, new apps and services.

Alex Nourry, Chris Worrall and Chandralekha Ghosh review the Commission's competition concerns. This article was first published on the Practical Law website (http://uk.practicallaw.com/).
