The chairman of Google was summoned to meet the European Competition Commissioner yesterday, as investigations continue into alleged monopolistic habits.
Margarethe Vestager called Eric Schmidt in to discuss a number of complaints about Google, according to a report by Reuters.
Vestiges has already met a number of people complaining about Google, including executives from Microsoft and German press Axel Springer.
Google has, according to the report, has tried to settle the complaints about search engine three times, but all blandishments from the behemoth have been rebuffed.
If the competition commissioner finds that Google has been squeezing out other players in the European market, she could decide that the company has to dish out a tenth of its global revenues, that’s around $6 billion or so.
