A | 2017年,欧盟委员会指控谷歌给自己的购物比价服务以优惠待遇,在搜索结果中降低竞争对手的排名,对它处以24亿欧元罚款,并要求该公司停止偏向其购物服务。谷歌之后表示,当竞争对手竞标搜索页面顶部显示的广告时,它将像对待竞争对手一样对待自己的购物服务。

B | 但英国Kelkoo、法国LeGuide Group、瑞典PriceRunner和德国Idealo等43家公司联合致信欧盟反垄断负责人Margrethe Vestager,指出谷歌做出的承诺在法律上是不充分的,并没有使它们从广告拍卖中受益。 China and India’s oil, coal and gas purchases pumped some $24 billion in revenue into Russia’s coffers between March and May, nearly doubling the $13 billion the Asian giants spent during the same period in 2021, China Customs and India Trade Ministry data has shown.,The People’s Republic accounted for over 78 percent of the revenue - $18.9 billion. India, for its part, bought $5.1 billion in Russian energy – quintupling purchases it made a year ago by taking advantage of discounts on crude made as Moscow maneuvered to shift supplies away from the European and US markets.,Lauri Myllyvirta, lead analyst at the Finland-based Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), predicted that the Asian giants aren’t likely to stop their Russian energy binge anytime soon amid rising energy prices, and the West’s politicized decision to ban Russian crude oil and coal, and to limit gas imports.,EXCLUSIVE: New Delhi Does Not Support Attempts to Isolate Russia, Says Russian Ambassador to IndiaYesterday, 10:29 GMT,CREA figures indicate that China overtook Germany in the first 100 days after the escalation of the Ukraine crisis in February, but that the European market still accounted for a majority of top ten importer nations during this period.,China was the biggest importer of Russian energy in the first 100 days after the invasion, according to @CREACleanAir, and India's rise this year has been dramatic. Still, Europe as a bloc has made up the bulk of Russia's energy sales https://t.co/O7rTG4iI0p pic.twitter.com/rVuXsPv1nU— Dan Murtaugh (@danmurtaugh) July 6, 2022,Combined with Russian discounts, the possibility of ruble-yuan payments (and a similar ruble-rupee scheme currently being finalized), the BRICS nations have enjoyed a dramatic ramping up of the type of ‘win-win’ cooperation consistently talked about by Chinese officials, with Moscow ‘winning’ new markets, and Beijing and Delhi a cheap and dependable source of energy.,Iran Asks to Join BRICS27 June, 17:19 GMT,Sanctions Rebound,The United States banned the import of most (but not all) Russian energy in March, with the European Union following suit in the months to follow by banning Russian coal and fertilizers (which is an energy-intensive sector), promising to “phase out” Russian oil, and searching for alternatives to Russian natural gas.,While these measures were meant to “punish” Russia for its military operation in Ukraine, their impact so far has been to send already high energy prices and inflation soaring, and sparking fears of a steep recession.,Germany, the European industrial giant accounting for more than a quarter of the EU’s GDP, has been hit hard by the self-inflicted dual calamities of inflation and spiking energy costs. On Sunday, German Trade Union Confederation chairwoman Yasmin Fahimi warned that “entire branches” of the country’s industry, including aluminum, glass and the chemical sectors, are at risk of “collapsing permanently” thanks to the gas shortages. Germany depended on Russia for 40 percent of its gas and a quarter of its oil before the escalation of the Ukraine crisis.,No Plan C: Europe Facing Trouble as Norway's Oil, Gas Production DecliningYesterday, 15:27 GMT,Even the US, where Russian crude oil accounted for just one percent of total consumption in 2021, has been affected by the Biden administration’s energy ban, with gasoline prices setting records and sending shockwaves of price hikes reverberating on all other sectors of the economy dependent on road transport.,US and EU officials have reacted with general indifference to ordinary citizens’ economic distress, with President Biden blaming Russia and calling inflation and the gas price jump “Putin’s price hike,” while in Brussels, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has recommended that people simply ‘turn down the thermostat a couple degrees’ to compensate for lost Russian energy. On Monday, EU high representative for foreign affairs and security policy Josep Borrell admitted that the transition away from Russian gas and oil is creating “serious difficulties” for members’ economies, but stressed that “this is the price which we must pay to defend our democracies and international law.”。这些公司在信中表示:“委员会需要为最相关的供应商重新开放普通搜索结果页面上的空间,删除谷歌的购物服务,因为它不允许竞争,会导致商品价格更高、消费者选择更少以及商家和购物比较服务的利润不公平地转向谷歌。”它们认为,谷歌的机制违反了数字市场法(DMA)。这是欧盟反垄断机构旨在控制科技巨头权力的新规则,将于明年5月生效。
