Assignment: Competition and Fair Markets - A Global Perspective

Introduction

In the European Union, the Google Antitrust Case is a well-known example of competition law enforcement. The European Commission fined Google for anti-competitive practices related to its search engine and advertising services. Regulators argued that Google unfairly favoured its own services over competitors, limiting consumer choice and harming competition. This case demonstrates how antitrust policies are used to prevent monopolistic behaviour and ensure a level playing field in the digital economy.
