Expedia accuses Google of breaking E.U. competition laws

|

Expedia filed a complaint last week with European Commission, alleging that Google engages in business practices that violate European Union competition and consumer-protection laws.

Expedia said, "The complaint offers evidence of how Google's conduct harms not only competition, but consumers. Expedia believes that strong action is needed by the European Commission to restore a fair and competitive marketplace in online search that respects consumers' rights."

Google responded in a statement that it has not seen the complaint, "but we’ve been working to explain how our business works, cooperating with the European Commission since this investigation began. Because there’s always room for improvement, we're happy to discuss any concerns the Commission might have."
