For a long time, GoogleHas been facing scrutiny from antitrust law enforcers and consumer groups around the world. Previously, Google has three services issued by the European Union monopoly fines, fines as high as billions of dollars. The latest grievances focus on the prices of Google Flights (flight search) and Google Hotels (hotel search) services.

The final price of these products should include fees or taxes that can be calculated in advance, while the reference price used to calculate promotional discounts should be clearly identifiable, the European Commission and EU consumer authorities said in a joint statement today.

EU Justice Commissioner Didier Reinders (Didier Reynders) said: "EU consumers should not be misled when using search engines to plan their holidays. We need to empower consumers to make choices based on transparent and impartial information. "

The authorities also asked Google to revise the standard terms of Google Store, the Google app store, because in some cases traders have more rights than consumers. If Google's reform proposal is not sufficient, the above-mentioned institutions will discuss the issue further with Google and may impose sanctions.

In response, Google said in a statement: "We welcome this dialogue and are working closely with consumer protection agencies and the European Commission to see how we can make improvements that benefit users and provide greater transparency."
