Description
Issued ruling against Google for abuse of dominance through pre-installation requirements
On 14 September 2015, the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Russian Federation (FAS) ruled that Google abused its dominance in the mobile devices market. Specifically, Google implemented clauses into contracts with producers of mobile devices that oblige the producers to pre-install certain applications and set Google as the default search engine. Furthermore, Google gave its own applications a preferential screen location on mobile devices. The opening of this investigation had followed a complaint made by Yandex to the FAS. Administrative proceedings will now be initiated to determine the exact sanction. The monetary sanction can be anywhere between 1% and 15% of Google's turnover in the market of pre-installed applications in 2014.
