Brussels returns to the fray against computer giants for their practices that harm competition. While still not resolved the process opened by the European Commission against Google, the vice president and head of Competition, Joaquin Almunia, has announced another huge fine against the U.S. company Microsoft. He is accused of failing to include in its Windows operating system an option screen that allows users to install alternative browsers Explorer. European legislation provides for fines of up to 10% of the turnover of the undertaking sanctioned for these reasons.
While in Brussels insist that no decision taken, problems will accumulate to Microsoft, which since 2004 has received three fines from the competition authorities and amounting to a total of 1,700 million euros. The company has acknowledged the facts, which he attributes to a technical error. "We will listen carefully to what Microsoft responds to the statement of objections. And if our charges are confirmed, we will have to go to the next step, which is to estimate the fine, "said Almunia.
Brussels imposed the Redmond company in 2009 when he opened disciplinary proceedings for abuse of dominant position, that would give Windows users an option screen where you could choose browser. The obligation, which was in force until 2014, Microsoft tried to prevent market expel their rivals. "Between February 2011 and July 2012, millions of Windows users in the EU could have been deprived of the options screen" note in the Commission.
Given the lack of response from the company, the EU executive on Wednesday sent a statement of objections formal charges. Microsoft is now within four weeks to respond.
