After fining Google more than 8.2 billion euros ($9.7 billion) in three antitrust cases, a European Union official finally had something nice to say about the Internet giant.
Olivier Guersent, the head of the European Commission’s antitrust arm, said Google’s efforts to provide more choice in shopping search results lead to “good, positive developments.” Guersent’s comments Wednesday potentially ease the threat of new fines for the Alphabet Inc. unit.
