"The European Commission announced today that it will carry out an investigation into Google's business practices – the first such in the world and one certain to be watched with interest.

The case could take years to be decided but could lead to Google facing billions of euros in fines, and strict regulations about how it can lay out its search results, especially when they include its own services. Fines can reach 10% of revenue, which would amount to $2.4bn (£1.54bn) based on the company's 2009 earnings figures."

You're a fucking idiot. Go die in a fire, but first look up the definition of the word union you illiterate eurofag.

EDIT: I have a feeling you won't be able to successfully look up the word so here

an organization of employees formed to bargain with the employer; "you have to join the union in order to get a job"
the United States (especially the northern states during the American Civil War); "he has visited every state in the Union"; "Lee hoped to detach Maryland from the Union"; "the North's superior resources turned the scale"
coupling: the act of pairing a male and female for reproductive purposes; "the casual couplings of adolescents"; "the mating of some species occurs only in the spring"
the state of being joined or united or linked; "there is strength in union"
marriage: the state of being a married couple voluntarily joined for life (or until divorce); "a long and happy marriage"; "God bless this union"
healing process involving the growing together of the edges of a wound or the growing together of broken bones
a political unit formed from previously independent people or organizations; "the Soviet Union"
a set containing all and only the members of two or more given sets; "let C be the union of the sets A and B"
the occurrence of a uniting of separate parts; "lightning produced an unusual union of the metals"
a device on a national flag emblematic of the union of two or more sovereignties (typically in the upper inner corner)
the act of making or becoming a single unit; "the union of opposing factions"; "he looked forward to the unification of his family for the holidays"
of trade unions; "the union movement"; "union negotiations"; "a union-shop clause in the contract

Europe does not equate European Union. AHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA.

Quoting your post so you can't delete it and deny the total fail you just posted.

Reading a Wikipedia article once does not make your stupid arse educated on a topic.

Please die.

LoL. The same thing could happen just as easily in the US.

United States antitrust law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"In 1999 a coalition of 19 states and the federal Justice Department sued Microsoft. A highly publicized trial found that Microsoft had strong-armed many companies in an attempt to prevent competition from the Netscape browser. In 2000 the trial court ordered Microsoft split in two to punish it, and prevent it from future misbehavior, however the Court of Appeals reversed the decision, removed the judge from the case for improperly discussing the case while it was still pending with the media. With the case in front of a new judge, Microsoft and the government settled, with the government dropping the case in return for Microsoft agreeing to cease many of the practices the government challenged. In his defense, CEO Bill Gates argued that Microsoft always worked on behalf of the consumer and that splitting the company would diminish efficiency and slow the pace of software development."

I wonder how much they settled with the US government for?
