German, Australian competition watchdogs to follow CCI’s steps on Google

Antitrust regulators in Australia as well as Germany are among those “following recent action by the Competition Commission of India against Google”, they told ET, signalling increased global attention on policy rulings that challenge the dominance of large technology corporations by India, the world’s largest data market.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) constantly monitors enforcement action and regulatory developments in other jurisdictions in relation to digital platforms and “takes these into account in undertaking its various enforcement and inquiry functions”, it said.

“(ACCC) is aware of and has been following recent action by the Competition Commission of India against Google,” a spokesperson told ET.
