The European Union Parliament has prepared a resolution that would split Google's search engine operation in Europe from the rest of its business.
According to Sky News, the plan was prompted by growing concerns among European politicians about the internet giant's dominance in the online search market.
The resolution is planned to curb the company's power.
The decision would pose a significant threat to Google's business.
The firm already faces strong criticism in Europe about everything from privacy to tax policies, and has been fighting a European court's ruling that requires it to remove links from search results that people find objectionable.
