BRUSSELS - European Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager will hold a news conference on an antitrust case at 1030 GMT , the European Commission said on Wednesday. Vestager is expected to announce a third fine for Alphabet unit Google over anti-competitive practices, related to its AdSense advertising service, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters last week.
Last year, Vestager imposed a record 4.34 billion euro fine on Google for using its popular Android mobile operating system to block rivals. This followed a 2.4 billion euro fine levied in 2017 for blocking rivals of shopping comparison websites.Our Standards:
