Cas Google: impacte global als mitjans de comunicació del vot d’ahir al Parlament Europeu
Dies molt intensos a la sessió plenària del Parlament Europeu a Estrasburg! El vot de la moció de resolució sobre el futur de l’agenda digital europeu, amb l’esmensa sobre el possible desmembrament de Google en cas de continuar les seves pràctiques monopolístiques a Europa (Google dóna un tracte preferent a les seves empreses en les compres al seu cercador internet), ha tingut un impacte mediàtic molt gran. Així, tant el dia abans del vot, quan vaig intervenir en el debat a plenari contra les pràctiques de Google, com el dia de la votació, aprovada per 384 vots a favor, 174 en contra i 56 abstencions, vaig tenir moltes peticions d’entrevistes de diferents mitjans internacionals. Tot seguit us adjunto els links del videos de les entrevistes de la CNN i Bloomberg, entre d’altres, els links de les entrevistes de ràdio de la CNBC i de la BBC i finalment els links dels diaris internacionals agrupats per llengua i per dates. N’hi ha certament, molts!

Just this week, a dozen lawmakers at the European Parliament held a closed-door meeting on Google that lasted more than two hours with the competition chief, during which he said that the deal wasn’t yet done. “Mr. Almunia said the case is not yet closed,” said Ramon Tremosa i Balcells, a Spanish lawmaker who organized the private briefing.

E.U. Parliament, in Nonbinding Measure, Calls for Breaking Up Google
Ramon Tremosa i Balcells, a member of the Parliament from Catalonia who sits on the Parliament’s powerful economics and monetary affairs committee, said his message to Mr. Almunia’s successor on the case was: “You cannot close this for some years.”

One, suggested by Mr Schwab and Spanish MEP Ramon Tremosa, is a rotation mechanism, which displays Google’s commercial services and their competitors “in the same location and with the same prominence on the search results page.”
Bloomberg:
“European enterprises are losing revenues and people are getting fired,” Ramon Tremosa, a member of the EU parliament from Spain’s Catalonia region, said in a statement. “European consumers are not having the most pertinent choice, because of Google’s preferential treatment to its own services.”

The vote, proposed by European Parliament members Andreas Schwab, a German conservative, and Ramon Tremosa, will be the first time the European parliament will have voted on the break-up of a company, underlining how serious the conflict between the EU and Google has become.

Of note, the message from the U.S. Mission comes less than a week after European Parliament members Andreas Schwab and Ramon Tremosa unveiled a draft of a resolution noting that separating the search engine division from other commercial services would help guarantee a level playing field for all European businesses.
Competition policy
EPs have reportedly sent a letter to the European Commission asking Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia to explain his reasoning for accepting a settlement offer with Google, say reports. The letter, addressed by Ramon Tremosa and Andreas Schwab, is reportedly calling on Almunia to appear before the EU’s economics and monetary affairs committee. The politicians are reportedly demanding answers as to why the regulator accepted Google’s concessions offer despite rejecting two early offers.

European lawmakers Ramon Tremosa and Andreas Schwab, who have fought hard to see the Commission’s proposed deal with Google shelved, welcomed Almunia’s “long awaited change of direction”.

MEPs seeking to combat what they consider anti-competitive behaviour by Google are considering calling for the breaking up of companies that focus on web search, according to a document prepared by members of the European Parliament. MEPs Andreas Schwab and Ramon Tremosa this week called for legislation if the EU can’t resolve its investigation.

Ramon Tremosa, a Spanish MEP who is sponsoring the motion, said it was necessary to consider unbundling as a long-term solution, because the commission could not “ask the secret of [Google’s] algorithm”.
Business Week:
Google, which has more than 90 percent of the search market in many European countries, is facing threats to its business, including a possible Internet copyright levy, that add to a lengthy EU antitrust investigation into allegations that it discriminates against rivals. Lawmakers Andreas Schwab and Ramon Tremosa earlier this week called for legislation if the EU can’t resolve its probe.

Con toda probabilidad, la resolución saldrá adelante con el apoyo, como mínimo, de los dos grupos mayoritarios y de Los Verdes. El grupo liberal acude dividido entre quienes desean dar tiempo a la nueva comisaria de Competencia, la liberal danesa Margrethe Vestager, para que concluya la investigación iniciada por Joaquín Almunia, y quienes desean dar un ultimátum a Google. Entre estos últimos figura el eurodiputado Ramón Tremosa (CiU), que se ha convertido en uno de los fustigadores de la compañía estadounidense.
