Google has agreed to provide clearer information to users browsing Google Store, Google Play Store, Google Hotels and Google Flights in Europe, the EU Commission announced in a press release. It will soon show whether it's acting as an intermediary or selling products directly, and better inform consumers about deliveries, returns and repairs and more. It's making the moves to comply with EU regulations following a dialogue with the Consumer Protection Cooperation Network (CPC) that started in 2021.
"EU consumers are entitled to clear, complete information so that they can make informed choices," said commissioner for justice Didier Reynders in a statement. "The commitments made by Google are a step forward in this direction."
