Google plans appeal against €2.4bn EU fine over shopping service
Google has prepared an appeal in response to its €2.4bn ($2.9bn) fine from the European Commission for breaking EU monopoly laws. In June, the commission accused Google of exploiting its 90% domination of the search market to cut out rivals by pushing e-commerce sales to its shopping service. The fine is the biggest ever issued by the EU for anti-competitive behaviour. The commission is also investigating whether Google has an unfair advantage over rival online retailers because of its maps and image services.
