Google should allow third-party search engines access to data: EU
Interested parties have until 1 May to submit their views on the proposed measures, with a final decision to be made in July
The European Commission has sent preliminary findings to Google on proposed measures to comply with the EU's Digital Markets Act, which would allow third-party search engines to access Google search data, including that of artificial intelligence chatbots with search functionalities, the commission said on Thursday.
Interested parties have until 1 May to submit their views on the proposed measures, with a final decision to be made in July.
Google, the world's most popular search engine, was charged in March 2025 with breaching the Digital Markets Act. It has made its own proposals to mollify rivals and EU regulators, but rivals have complained the measures were insufficient.
