The European Commission suspended a fine for Google in the field of online advertising. According to sources, the delay is related to trade negotiations between the United States and the European Union to reduce car duties.
The topic of cars for cars became the key in the discussions that ended with the agreement between Washington and Brussels. The European Commission has already proposed to cancel duties on the import of a number of American industrial goods. In response, the US decision is expected to reduce duties on European cars from 27.5% to 15%.
Last week, Google notified that the announcement of the fine would be made on September 1, but this did not happen. The company did not receive explanations, and officials limited themselves to a statement that the investigation is ongoing.
According to sources, the delay in the publication of the decision may last up to a month. It is assumed that this led to additional questions from the European Commissioner for Trade, who became interested in the details of the decision of the antimonopoly department.
