EU tells Google to make search data available to rival services

The European Commission has sent Google its preliminary findings on compliance with the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), requiring the company to grant third-party services access to its search data.

The proposals would allow competing search engines—including AI-based services—to access Google’s search data, including information linked to chatbot features with integrated search functions, Caliber.Az reports, citing Reuters.

Interested parties have until May 1 to submit their comments, after which a final decision is expected in July.

Google, which remains the world’s largest search engine, was previously accused in March 2025 of violating DMA rules.

The company has proposed its own measures to address the issue, but competitors have deemed them insufficient.
