Competition and state aid

Antitrust—Advocate General recommends the Court of Justice uphold the fine imposed on Google for prioritising its own comparison shopping service

Advocate General Kokott has delivered her opinion in P Google and Alphabet v Commission (Google Shopping), Case C-48/22, an appeal against the General Court’s judgment in Case T-612/17 which partially upheld an action seeking annulment of the Commission’s 27 June 2017 decision in Google Search (Shopping) (AT.39740). She proposes that the Court of Justice dismiss the appeal in full and therefore maintain the €2.4bn penalty against Google. See News Analysis: EU Competition law—daily round-up (11/01/2024).

Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval.
