With the latest fine of 1.7 billion euros, the third imposed by the European Commission since 2017 for antitrust violations, total fines exceed 8.4 billion euros. The latest fine is for unfairly excluding competitors in contractual provisions for third party use of Google's search bar.

Google says it is making the changes to give visibility to rivals such as Microsoft and Yahoo. It is appealing the rulings. Meanwhile the European Competition Commissioner Margarethe Vestager who has taken action for violation of antitrust rules, is now completing her 5 year term, is open to continuing for another term. She is also a candidate for President of the European Commission, after European parliamentary elections in May 2019.
