Senators urge Google to cooperate with European antitrust regulator’s probe

Sens. Herb Kohl (D-WI) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) urged Google to address the concerns of a European antitrust regulator.

“We are pleased that the EU is working with Google to develop a set of voluntary solutions to the search engine’s problematic practices, including those that we identified at our September 2011 hearing," the lawmakers said in a joint statement. "We are hopeful that Google will be a willing partner with the EU’s Competition Commissioner. We continue to urge the FTC to investigate the concerns we raised at our hearing and to ensure a competitive search market where consumers can fairly pick the winners and losers in our online economy.”
