Google Gains More Time to Argue With EU Over Antitrust Complaint

Google Inc. gained an extra six weeks to prepare its response to the European Union’s antitrust complaint accusing the Internet giant of abusing its dominance of the search-engine market.
The European Commission, the EU’s antitrust authority, granted Google’s request for a delay and gave it until Aug. 17 to respond to the so-called statement of objections sent in April. Google originally had until July 7 to reply after regulators said it unfairly favored its own comparison shopping service above rivals since 2008.
