EU Plans to Require Google to Share Search Data with Competitors
In a statement, the Commission said it has issued preliminary findings to Google detailing the measures it considers necessary for the company to comply with EU digital regulations.
The proposals would require Google to grant rival search providers access to data such as search rankings, user queries, clicks, and view information, on terms that are fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory.
According to the Commission, the goal is to help competing search engines improve their services and more effectively challenge Google’s dominant position in the market. It also noted that the framework may extend to AI-powered chatbots with search capabilities.
The proposed framework also defines the scope of data sharing, how often and in what way data should be provided, safeguards to ensure personal data is anonymized, and principles for determining fair pricing and access conditions.
The Commission added that stakeholders will be able to submit feedback through a public consultation starting Friday, April 17, with the full process expected to conclude within six months of its launch in January.
