Google has reportedly offered new proposals to settle the European Union antitrust lawsuit alleging that the search giant uses its platform unfairly to promote own services.
The search giant has proposed displaying three sets of results from rival search engines in a box under its own shopping results.
EU official said that the aim of the commitment is to show rivals have visibility on screen, adding that it is not for them to mandate the final outcome of what users click on, AllThingsD reports.
According to the report, if the EU accepts Google's proposals, they will be binding on the company for five years, in a case otherwise, the search giant will be asked to further change the proposal or face a formal legal antitrust proceeding.
Google said that it has made significant changes to address the European Commission's concerns, by increasing the visibility of rival services and addressing other specific issues.
The report said that another change to the earlier proposal addresses the 'scraping' process, in which Google was accused of copying content from other websites to use on its own, by including a non-retaliation clause for companies who opt out of the service.
