Google Moves Toward Possible Antitrust-Case Settlement, EU Says

Google Inc. has reached a “good” understanding with European Union regulators working toward a possible settlement of an antitrust probe, an EU spokesman said.

“The commission considers Google’s proposals as a good basis for further talks and has reached a good level of understanding with Google,” Antoine Colombani, a spokesman for the European Commission, said in an e-mail from Brussels today. “There will soon be discussions at technical level. We hope this process will lead to remedies addressing our concerns.”
