That's a very cynical view. As an European citizen I expect my representatives not to engage in such childish schemes even if it's about considerable sums. I think the provided explanation is clear and the punishment reasonable.

Are you sure? This is the company who initiated the lawsuit: http://www.foundem.co.uk/ http://www.foundem.co.uk/ By looking at the website do you think they were disadvantaged in Google search because of Google's monopoly or perhaps for MANY other reasons? I mean it doesn't even render on mobile...

    I doubt it. We have a price aggregator (skroutz.gr) here in Greece that people prefer because it's actually useful. The above site doesn't look like that.

      It was kind of a joke in reference to the article. I also run an Australian price aggregator and it doesn't look like that: https://pricehipster.com https://pricehipster.com

  Of which lawsuit do you speak? From [1]:- > The European Commission has decided to open an antitrust investigation into allegations that Google Inc. has abused a dominant position in online search, in violation of European Union rules (Article 102 TFEU). The opening of formal proceedings follows complaints by search service providers about unfavourable treatment of their services in Google's unpaid and sponsored search results coupled with an alleged preferential placement of Google's own services. This initiation of proceedings does not imply that the Commission has proof of any infringements. It only signifies that the Commission will conduct an in-depth investigation of the case as a matter of priority.
