Google To Make EU an Antitrust Offer in January
Eurocrats put the screws to the company
Google is getting ready to make its settlement offer to the European Union's antitrust commission, the commission's head said in a statement released today.
EU Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia said he met with Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt today and expects a "detailed commitment" in January, according to an e-mailed statement from Alumnia's office.
"Since our preliminary talks with Google started in July, we have substantially reduced our differences regarding possible ways to address each of the four competition concerns expressed by the commission," he said in the statement.
