EU regulators to seek feedback on Google’s compliance proposals to avert charges

European Union antitrust regulators will seek feedback next week on Google’s proposals to comply with tech rules aimed at promoting fair competition, people with direct knowledge of the matter said on Wednesday, which could decide whether it faces formal charges.

The European Commission launched an investigation in March into Google to see if it favours its vertical search engines such as Google Shopping, Google Flights and Google Hotels over rivals, and whether it discriminates against third-party services on Google Search results.
