EU spells out how Google must share data with rivals

The European Commission set out Thursday how it wants Google to make a wide range of data accessible to rival search engines in order to comply with the bloc’s digital rules.

The announcement forms part of amicable proceedings launched in January to ensure Google meets its obligations under the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA).

“Google should allow third party search engines to access search data, such as ranking, query, click and view data, on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms,” the EU executive said in a statement.
