Brussels warns Google for very high fines
The European Commission has told Google that it is very large fines can expect, as part of the charges against the company because of the abuse of power.
That turns out to be a document that the European Commission has sent to different victims, and is recognised by Bloomberg.
The European Commission says in the document to give a penalty "high enough to deter". The regulator is also of the opinion that Google deliberately broke the rules, "or at least negligent".
The fines that Brussels can impose on Google can be based on turnover from its AdWords advertising program that it extracts from clicks of Europeans and turnover from its price comparison service.
Google was in april officially accused of abuse of power by the European Commission. Brussels is doing for more than five years of research into Google, but it never came to eerer an official indictment.
The company is accused of abuse of power by its own departments to give priority over those of competitors. For example, Google for example prices of products through price comparison site Google product search. These appear above the search results which offer of, for example, Amazon and other comparison sites and webshops lower.
