The EU's General Court annulled the 1.49 billion euro fine against Google, highlighting that the Commission misjudged the implications of exclusivity clauses in contracts.
The General Court stated that the European Commission failed to prove that Google's contracts harmed consumers or stifled innovation in the online advertising market.
Google expressed satisfaction with the court's decision, asserting it recognized errors in the original ruling, and confirmed modifications to their contracts were made in 2016.
The European Commission plans to review the judgment thoroughly before determining its next steps in response to the annulled fine.
