Google Settles European Antitrust Case
(中央社台北5日電)擁有全球最大搜尋引擎的谷歌公司(Google Inc.)和歐洲聯盟(EU)達成協議,在加碼提出顯示敵對搜尋服務結果的條件後,終結歐盟3年來的反托辣斯調查。

谷歌將躲過罰款,或主管機關揪出谷歌可能歧視敵對搜尋網站的任何調查結果。1年前,美國聯邦貿易委員會(FTC)也放棄類似調查,聲稱谷歌的動機以創新居多,而非試圖扼殺競爭。

歐盟在電郵聲明中表示,谷歌對歐洲聯盟執行委員會(EC)作出的5年期承諾,讓谷歌只要在本身如Google Shopping等專業搜尋結果旁開放3個通往敵對服務的連結,就可增添新服務或更改其搜尋頁面。競爭對手將付至少3歐分(4美分),爭奪谷歌部分搜尋頁 面上陰影框內的1個欄位。

歐盟競爭事務執委阿爾慕尼亞(Joaquin Almunia)在聲明中表示:「我認為,經過漫長且困難的協商,這份從谷歌手中獲得的新提案現在可以解決委員會的疑慮。這以可比較的方式呈現,確實提供使用者在對打服務間作選擇;接著由他們來選擇最佳替代方案。」

這份協議讓歐盟最受矚目的反托辣斯案之一落幕,與此同時,阿爾慕尼亞試圖在10月底離職前,和三星電子公司(Samsung Electronics Co.)、俄羅斯天然氣公司(OAO Gazprom)與Visa歐洲公司(Visa Europe Ltd.)達成類似和解。違反這類協議的條款,罰款最高可達全球營收的10%。微軟公司(Microsoft Corp.)去年就因違反和歐盟的和解協議而被罰5.61億歐元。

歐盟因微軟與其他網路業者投訴才發動調查,檢視的指控為谷歌推廣自家的專業搜尋服務(如Google News和Google Finance)、抄襲同業的旅遊和餐廳評鑑,而且和網站與軟體開發商締結扼殺廣告業競爭的協議。http://www.cna.com.tw/news/ait/201402050428-1.aspx
