Given that this is something entirely orchestrated by Google in an attempt to make lawmakers think that competition is A-OK and no legislation is needed to curb Google’s power, this kind of thing is to be expected.

If Google's trying to avoid legislation, it should be "self-regulating" itself hard to try and prove legislation isn't needed. But this system is pretty transparent what it is doing and the EU is going to see right through it.
