EU gives Google 2 months to improve flight, hotel search results

[TaylorSwift 162,720]

Google has 2 months to improve the way it presents internet search results for hotels and flights and explain how it ranks these or face possible sanctions, the European Commission and EU consumer authorities said on Monday.

The agencies also told Google to revise the standard terms of its Google Store because some cases showed that traders have more rights than consumers.

If Google's proposals are not sufficient, the agencies will discuss the issue further with the company and may impose sanctions.

Google said in a statement: "We welcome this dialogue and are working closely with consumer protection agencies and the European Commission to see how we can make improvements that will be good for our users and provide even more transparency."

I completely agree with this. 

The info tends to be very misleading sometimes.

Consumer protection basically. They want Google to be transparent about the costs involved in their flights and hotels as they've been omitting fees and tax from the total price. There are other important parts re. the consumer in the article but thats the main.
