Senator Chuck Grassley released the following statement regarding the Microsoft antitrust complaint filed against Google in the European Union. Grassley is the Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and a member of the Antitrust, Competition Policy and Consumer Rights Subcommittee.
“It’s critical for our economic well-being that companies compete in a fair manner, so that consumers can enjoy more choices and lower prices for goods and services. Vigorous enforcement of the antitrust laws by regulators will help create and maintain an open, fair and competitive marketplace. I expect our regulators are monitoring the antitrust complaint brought forward by Microsoft against Google and will act accordingly if a similar complaint should be raised in the United States.”
