Statement of U.S. Senators Herb Kohl and Mike Lee on the EU’s Announcement Regarding Google

"We are pleased that the EU is working with Google to develop a set of voluntary solutions to the search engine's problematic practices, including those that we identified at our September 2011 hearing.  We are hopeful that Google will be a willing partner with the EU's Competition Commissioner.   We continue to urge the FTC to investigate the concerns we raised at our hearing and to ensure a competitive search market where consumers can fairly pick the winners and losers in our online economy."
