## Summary

The [European Union](/es/entity/european-union) is finalising its largest-ever [Digital Markets Act](/es/entity/digital-markets-act) penalty
against Alphabet's [Google](/es/entity/google) for ranking its own shopping, flights and hotel services above
rivals in Search, with the fine — reported in the high triple-digit-million-euro range —
expected before the August recess. Separately, Brussels prepares binding measures requiring
Google to share search-interaction data with competing engines on FRAND terms and to give
rival AI assistants the same Android access as Gemini, with decisions due around 27 July
2026. Reports indicate the Commission delayed announcement partly to avoid worsening
[US](/es/entity/united-states) trade tensions; Washington has threatened tariff retaliation.

## Why it matters

A record penalty plus mandated search-data sharing and equal Android access for rival AI
assistants would structurally reshape Google's European market control — and is now a
transatlantic trade flashpoint, not just competition policy.
