Core Points - Google is making a final effort in the European Court of Justice to overturn a €2.42 billion antitrust fine related to Google Shopping [1] - The European Commission imposed the fine in June 2017, citing that Google favored its own service, Google Shopping, while downgrading competitors [1] - Google has appealed the decision multiple times, with the General Court rejecting its appeal in November 2021 [1] Group 1 - Google's lawyer, Thomas Graf, argued that the European Commission failed to prove that Google's different treatment of competitors constituted abuse, stating that competition inherently involves distinguishing oneself from rivals [1] - Graf emphasized that labeling any different treatment, especially between first-party and third-party services, as abuse is unreasonable and could undermine competition and innovation [1] - In contrast, the European Commission's lawyer, Fernando Castillo de la Torre, contended that Google unfairly favored its own shopping service through its algorithms, violating EU antitrust laws [2] Group 2 - The European Court is expected to make a final ruling on the case in the coming months [2] - In addition to Google Shopping, Google faces antitrust fines for two other services: €1.49 billion for AdSense and €4.34 billion for Android, all of which have been appealed by Google [2]
