Joaquin Almunia, the head of the European Commission’s competition unit, has been pursuing an antitrust complaint against the US search giant since 2010.
Google has provided two proposals to settle the complaint, but seen both rejected. It is now believed to be preparing another proposal.
Almunia told to the reporters, “let’s see if Google can improve their proposal or we go the traditional route,”
He said that, we need more, not during the next year but during the next weeks.
He also added that, Feedback from rivals and complainants to the two proposals from Google had been clearly negative.
He also said that, Google’s next proposal is its ‘last opportunity’ for reaching a negotiated settlement.
Almunia told the European Parliament in October, “On each of the four, we believe there is a strong case for action under our antitrust rules,”
