对此，谷歌竞争事务高级总监奥利弗·贝塞尔（Oliver Bethell）在CMA宣布认定后回应称，英国必须避免"高昂的限制性措施"和"过度繁琐的监管"，并表 示："在此过程中提出的多项干预方案，可能会抑制英国的创新与增长，甚至延缓产品推出进度"。 【环球网财经综合报道】英国竞争与市场管理局（Competition and Markets Authority，CMA）近日公布，认定谷歌在搜索服务领域具有"战略市场地位"，并 成为英国首家"战略市场地位"企业，这一认定使其在线搜索与广告业务面临更严格的审查。 CMA的此次认定，依据的是英国今年早些时候生效的、旨在规范数字市场竞争的更严格规则。CMA数字市场执行董事威尔·海特指出："我们发现，谷歌在 搜索及搜索广告领域占据战略地位——英国超过90%的搜索行为都发生在其平台上"。但此次调查未涵盖谷歌的Gemini人工智能助手。 受上述消息影响，北京时间10月11日凌晨，谷歌A类股（GOOGL）收跌2.05%，成交77.44亿美元。 ...

CMA数字市场执行董事Will Hayter声称："我们发现，谷歌在搜索及广告领域处于战略性地位，英国超 过90%的搜索活动均发生在其平台上。在综合考虑外界对拟议决定的反馈后，我们今日正式确认，将谷 歌的搜索服务指定为具备战略市场地位。" 当地时间周五，英国竞争与市场管理局(CMA)发布声明称，根据英国新的数字市场竞争制度，确认 Alphabet旗下谷歌在搜索服务领域具有"战略市场地位"。美股盘前，谷歌A股价微跌0.2%。 此次英国的"战略市场地位"认定属于今年早些时候生效的数字市场竞争新规下的一部分。这也使得谷歌 成为了英国首家被纳入这一监管框架的企业，意味着其在线搜索与广告业务将受到更严格的反垄断审 查。 CMA表示，该决定是在为期近九个月的调查后作出的，谷歌在在线搜索和广告领域拥有"显著且根深蒂 固的市场力量"，因此符合战略市场地位( SMS)的认定标准。监管方同时对谷歌搜索结果的公平性、高 昂的广告成本以及AI生成搜索回应提出了关切。 目前尚不清楚具体的监管措施将采取何种形式。CMA表示，针对可能干预措施的磋商预计将在今年晚 些时候启动。 相关措施可能包括：要求谷歌提供更公平的搜索排名机制；给予出版商 ...

Core Viewpoint - The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has proposed to label Google's and Apple's mobile ecosystems with "strategic market status," which would require changes to enhance competition in the tech industry [3][4]. Group 1: Regulatory Actions - The CMA's announcement follows investigations into Google's Android and Apple's iOS, utilizing new digital market regulations aimed at protecting consumers and businesses from unfair practices by major tech companies [4]. - The CMA identified that Apple and Google maintain an "effective duopoly," with 90-100% of mobile devices in Britain operating on either platform [5]. Group 2: Competition Concerns - The investigation revealed issues such as unpredictable app reviews, inconsistent app store search rankings, and commissions on in-app purchases reaching as high as 30% [5]. - The CMA proposed "roadmaps" for both companies to implement measures for fair and transparent app reviews and rankings, providing British app developers with more certainty [6]. Group 3: Company Responses - Google expressed disappointment with the CMA's decision, arguing that Android has reduced costs for app developers by standardizing operating models across devices [7]. - Apple raised concerns that the CMA's proposed regulations could increase risks for users and threaten the UK's developer economy, potentially undermining privacy and security protections [8][9].
