谷歌因壟斷指控被歐盟罰款50億美元

The European Union's antitrust regulator fined Google a record $5 billion dollars Wednesday for illegally exploiting the powerful market share position of its Android smartphone system.

The EU antitrust regulator concluded that Google, whose Android system operates more than 80-percent of the world's smartphones, abused its dominant position to promote its own apps and services, especially the company's search engine.

The regulator ordered Google to end the illegal practices within 90 days or face more penalties. Google can appeal the decision.

The decision was made Wednesday in a meeting in Brussels.週三，歐盟反壟斷監管機構以谷歌非法利用其安卓智能手機系統的強大市場份額而對谷歌罰款50億美元。

歐盟反壟斷監管機構做出的斷定是，谷歌的安卓系統是全球80％以上智能手機的操作系統，谷歌濫用這一主導地位來推廣自己的應用和服務，特別是該公司的搜索引擎。

監管機構要求谷歌在90天內終止這一被認爲是非法的做法，否則將面臨更多處罰。谷歌可以對此提出上訴。

這一決定是週三在布魯塞爾的一次會議上做出的。
