Itโs @ThierryBreton โEC ongoing monitoring of the effectiveness of the remedies implemented by #Google following the Google #Android Decision of 18 July 2018, the Commission will take into account the arguments put forward by market players, including the @FairSearch orgโ

3/3under Art6(1)(c) of #DMA proposal, a #gatekeeper has to allow end users to un-install any pre-installed software applications. Therefore, while there is no prohibition of default applications as such, users will remain free to choose the service that best serves their needs

1/3 Good comprehensive answer of @ThierryBreton to @carmenavram on #DMA โIn accordance with the proposal for a Digital Markets Act (DPA), the Commission may impose on a gatekeeper any behavioral or structural corrective action if it has systematically breached the obligations...

Regrettably, Mr Laitenbergerโs suggestion that the effects of the Google โremedyโ have been โpositiveโ is (to borrow from the Google lexicon) โwrong on the facts, the law, and the economicsโ.

Another confirmation of @vestager @EU_Competition latest answer to @ramontremosa on Hoogle #Antitrust shopping case ยซย #Google Shopping remedies have been 'positive' so far, EU's Laitenberger saysย ยป
I know some that share same position
@Foundem @kelkoogroup @OpenInternetPro
19 firms and associations ask #Vestager to reject Google's remedies
as non-compliant with #Commission 2017 decision condemning it for abuse of
dominance. See letter at searchneutrality.org or fairsearch.org

@nicholashirst_ The headline is misleading as @vestager and her team did a good job on the prohibition decision, much better than @AlmuniaJoaquin. The problem is Google and the way they are trying to address @vestager decision. The Remedy is not working!!! xitter.gq/nicholashirst_/status/โฆ
Google's rivals say @vestager's Google solution may be even worse than @AlmuniaJoaquin's -- which, from memory, was "worse than doing nothing."

The #Google Search (Comparison Shopping) Case:
Why Googleโs pay-for-placement auction falls far short of the ECโs stipulated equal-treatment standard.
And an outline of Googleโs options moving forward.

Consumers who look at Google ads don't get the best results, just those from advertisers willing to pay the most. See #fairsearch.org
If Google has consumers in mind, why did consumer group BEUC file its first-ever antitrust complaint against it? See #fairsearch.0rg
