BRUSSELS: Europe’s anti-trust chief Margrethe Vestager said Google’s proposals to comply with an EU order to modify its shopping service pointed in the “right direction”. 

”It is less than a week since we got the letter so we have to go a bit more in depth before we can say anything,” Vestager told AFP just months after slapping Google with a record €2.4bil (RM12.19bil) fine over the issue.
