It also infringed the DMA by preventing app developers from steering consumers towards cheaper offers on websites or alternative app stores.<\/p>\n
Google has been fined \u20ac460m for the search-related breach and \u20ac430m for the app store violation.<\/p>\n
The commission has ordered Google to treat third-party services that appear in its search results in a \u201cfair and non-discriminatory manner\u201d and allow app developers to make offers outside Google\u2019s app store.<\/p>\n
It noted that Google had already started testing changes to how it displays search results featuring its own services such as shopping and flights. It said those changes represent \u201csubstantial progress towards compliance\u201d.<\/p>\n
Consumers will be direct beneficiaries of the decision by the EU, a senior official said. \u201cResearch results will be in different in Europe<\/a>, they will have to adapt their search engine going forward,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n The decision to impose the fine risks the ire of Donald Trump, only hours before a series of temporary global tariffs against about 60 countries expires.<\/p>\n A senior official for the EU said that they had no knowledge of how Trump was likely to react, insisting that it had the \u201csovereign right\u201d to regulate US tech companies in its own jurisdiction and the timing of the fine was not connected to tariffs.<\/p>\n
