Commission proposes measures to Google on sharing search engine data with third parties under Digital Markets Act The European Commission has sent preliminary findings to Google outlining proposed measures to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA).

With this consultation, we want to hear from the market on the most effective ways for Google to share search data with competing online search engine providers, as we continue to push for innovation and fair competition.

This would enable third-party online search engines, or “data beneficiaries” to optimise their services and effectively contest Google Search’s position.

To ensure that these proposed measures are effective, we invite interested parties to comment through a public consultation.

Today we sent preliminary findings to Google outlining proposed measures to comply with the Digital Markets Act.

Google should allow third-party search engines to access search data, such as ranking, query, click and view data, on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms.
