EU regulators are investigating whether Google dominates in Internet search but have yet to decide if this is the case, the EU's antitrust chief said.
"As part of our current investigation, we are trying to determine whether the company holds a dominant position in internet search," EU Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia told a competition conference in Florence.
"Google is the browser of choice for very many of us; but dominance is not the same as abuse of dominance. Abuse is a conduct that protects or extends dominance by illegitimate means, and we still have to conclude whether this is the case for Google," he said.
