Google (State aid investigation)

The Google State Aid investigation refers to the inquiry by the European Commission into whether Google received illegal financial advantages from the government in a specific country, which could distort competition in the market. The investigation aims to ensure that companies, regardless of their size, compete fairly and that public funds are not used to give certain businesses an unfair edge. This case highlights the balance between government support for local companies and maintaining a level playing field for all businesses within the EU.
