EU court adviser sides with regulators in Google's fight against EU antitrust fine
BRUSSELS :An adviser to Europe's highest court on Thursday sided with EU antitrust regulators in Alphabet unit Google's fight against a record 4.3-billion-euro ($4.93 billion) fine levied on the U.S. tech giant by EU antitrust regulators seven years ago.
"Advocate General Kokott proposes that the Court of Justice dismiss Google's appeal and, therefore, that it confirm the new fine of 4.124 billion euros set by the General Court," the Luxembourg-based Court of Justice of the European Union said.
Judges, who usually follow four out of five such non-binding opinions, will rule in the coming months.
The case is C-738/22 P Google and Alphabet v Commission.

EU plans to scrap anti-greenwashing rules after pushback
Conservative lawmakers said the new rules would not be good for businesses. PHOTO: REUTERS BRUSSELS - The European Commission said on June 20 it intends to scrap new rules against greenwashing after they hit a roadblock in the final stretch from conservative lawmakers calling them too onerous for businesses. The 'Green Claims Directive' would require companies to provide hard facts to back up claims that their products are carbon-neutral, biodegradable or 'less polluting'. Businesses would need to submit evidence for environmental claims for approval by independent verifiers – with fines and other penalties for failure to comply. 'In the current context, the commission intends to withdraw the Green Claims proposal,' the European Union (EU) executive's spokesperson on environmental matters, Maciej Berestecki, told reporters. European lawmakers and the bloc's 27 member states agreed last year to move ahead with the directive, which was being finalised in three-way negotiations with the commission with a final meeting set for June 23. But the centre-right European People's Party (EPP) – Parliament's biggest force, which is now pushing to roll back parts of the EU's green agenda – was not satisfied with the text, and asked this week for the commission to withdraw it. Mr Berestecki said the EU's executive arm decided to do just that, because the 'current discussions around the proposal' went against its 'simplification agenda'. Currently 30 million micro-enterprises – or 96 per cent of all firms – would be covered by the text, something the commission did not like, Mr Berestecki explained. EU chief Ursula von der Leyen, who hails from the EPP, has pledged to make life easier for businesses in a bid to re-launch the European economy. Ms Danuse Nerudova, the EPP's negotiator on the file, welcomed the commission's move, describing the proposal as 'overly complex' and lacking an impact assessment to show its benefits would outweigh the burdens on businesses. 'We need regulation that is clear, proportionate, and grounded in evidence,' she said in a statement to AFP. 'Less bureaucracy and more competitiveness – that's what we promised to citizens.' But fellow lawmaker Sandro Gozi, of the centrist Renew group, called the decision 'shameful'. 'It is unacceptable that the EPP, in tandem with the far-right, is trying to undermine a fundamental piece of legislation to protect European citizens from corporate environmental fraud,' he said. Since last year's elections saw the EU parliament shift right, the bloc has embarked on a drive to cut red tape seen as hindering economic growth – including key parts of the environmental 'Green Deal' of Ms von der Leyen's first term. Most strikingly, a hard-fought law requiring companies to ensure their global supply chains are free of ethical and environmental abuses has had its rollout pushed back to 2028 – and its future is in doubt. The green claims bill was one of several EU initiatives clamping down on greenwashing, with a separate law adopted last year that banned broad, generic claims such as labelling products 'eco-friendly' or 'natural'.

Romanian president nominates Liberal Party leader Ilie Bolojan as PM
Mr Ilie Bolojan was nominated to be Romania's prime minister on June 20. PHOTO: REUTERS BUCHAREST - Centrist President Nicusor Dan nominated Liberal Party leader Ilie Bolojan as Romania's prime minister on June 20 after weeks of negotiations on forming a coalition government to tackle the largest budget deficit in the European Union (EU). Mr Bolojan will continue talks with four pro-European parties over cabinet appointments and fiscal measures and he is expected to ask parliament to give his government its vote of confidence next week. The incoming government must lower the fiscal deficit from last year's 9.3 per cent of economic output to avoid a ratings downgrade from the last rung of investment grade and unblock billions of euros worth of EU funds. It will likely include the centre-left Social Democrats, the country's biggest party, as well as Mr Bolojan's Liberals, centre-right Save Romania Union and the ethnic Hungarian party UDMR. "It is in Romania's interest that the government is supported by a solid majority, and the parties understand this," Mr Dan said. The four parties and the president spent weeks wrangling over ways to lower the deficit, hesitating over unpopular tax hikes Brussels, ratings agencies and analysts say are inevitable but which are likely to further bolster the rising far-right. The fiscal package will likely save around 30 billion lei (S$8.8 billion) and entail an equal mix of spending cuts, postponed investments and tax hikes.
