In a blog, Google's global privacy counsel, Peter Fleischer, said such a right created false expectations.
"I regularly hear requests from people to 'remove all references to me, Mrs. X, from the Internet'," Fleischer said, adding that he was expressing his own views, not the company's.
"No law can or should provide such a right," he said.
Spain referred the case to the EU's highest court to clarify how the EU draft law should be applied, particularly in relation to Google. It said the outcome of the hearing would be relevant not only in Spain but in all EU countries.
Spain's data protection agency said almost 200 verdicts in similar cases had been challenged in the Audiencia Nacional.
