What happened

The European Commission is in talks with Google about the steps the company may take following the EU's €890M fine in July. The Commission confirmed the talks to Reuters.

Basis for the fine

The fines were issued under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), the EU law that sets rules for the largest online platforms. The DMA aims to regulate how major platforms behave in the market.

What's next

The talks focus on how Google will meet the compliance steps required by the fine. The Commission did not share a detailed timeline for the process.
