Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Tech giant Google must pay \u20ac4.12 billion ($4.12 billion) in fine to the European Union after the bloc\u2019s top court upheld on Wednesday the EU executive body\u2019s antitrust decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe General Court largely confirms the Commission\u2019s decision that Google imposed unlawful restrictions on manufacturers of Android mobile devices and mobile network operators in order to consolidate the dominant position of its search engine,\u201d the EU court said in a press statement.<\/p>\n

The ruling ends the lawsuit initiated by Google against the 2018 decision of the European Commission that imposed \u20ac4.34 billion, the highest antitrust fine in the bloc\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

According to the EU, Google abused its dominant position in the mobile device and search engine market by demanding manufacturers to pre-install Google Search and Chrome on their devices with various \u201cdistribution agreements\u201d and \u201crevenue share agreements.\u201d<\/p>\n

The EU Court upheld the vast majority of the European Commission\u2019s arguments, only proposing to reduce the penalty by 5% because of a difference in reasoning.<\/p>\n

Last year, Google lost another case against the EU antitrust fine of \u20ac2.4 billion.<\/p>\n

Maintaining fair competition in the bloc\u2019s internal market is one of the few exclusive competencies of the EU. It allows the European Commission to decide on state aid rules and fine companies for breaching EU antitrust law.<\/p>\n
