The world's most popular search engine first offered proposals at the end of January following a spate of complaints from rivals such as Microsoft which triggered off the Commission's investigation in November 2010. But it has now made a formal offer of concessions. "In the last few weeks, the Commission completed its preliminary assessment formally setting out its concerns. On this basis, Google then made a formal submission of commitments to the Commission," said Antoine Colombani, the Commission's spokesman on competition policy. "We are now preparing the launch of a market test to seek feedback from market players, including complainants, on these commitment proposals," he said.
