Google faces fines from EU

Published 5:00 am Wednesday, April 3, 2013

Google faces possible fines after six European Union data protection regulators started “coordinated” enforcement measures over the company’s failure to fix flaws in a new privacy policy.

Tuesday’s joint decision follows a deadlock at a March 19 meeting between Google and the data watchdogs, France’s National Commission for Computing and Civil Liberties said in a statement on its website. It’s now up to national regulators to pursue the company according to their own rules and powers, CNIL said.
