In a reaction, Agustín Reyna, Director General of consumer group BEUC, said he welcomes the decision, calling it "crucially important for Europe’s consumers."
"The Court has confirmed that Google cannot unfairly deny European consumers access to full and unbiased online information about where to get the best deals," Reyna said.
Tech lobby organisation CCIA Europe said in a statement “It is essential that companies in Europe know when competition law will force them to share their technology with their rivals. These companies need legal certainty in advance, they shouldn't be punished after the fact for competing successfully.”
