On 11 September 2017, Google appealed the decision by the European Commission (EC) to sanction Google with a fine of EUR 2.42 billion for violating EU antitrust rules. Specifically, Google abused its dominance in the search engine market by self-preferencing its own comparison shopping services over those of competitors. The EC now ordered Google to end the anti-competitive behaviour. If Google does not comply with this order within 90 days, it will face monetary penalties of up to 5% of the average daily worldwide turnover of Alphabet with Alphabet being Google's parent company. The appeal will now take place at the General Court of the European Union.
