Germany’s Cartel Bureau has concluded proceedings against Google over its online news service after the tech giant made several changes to benefit publishers, the bureau said on Wednesday.
The office said Google had abandoned plans to integrate Google News Showcase into general searches and changed its contracting practice to ensure publishers did not encounter difficulties in enforcing their incidental copyrights in response to his concerns.

A publisher’s participation in News Showcase will continue to not affect search results, the office added.
The cartel office said Google would implement further measures in the coming weeks, including providing more information about Showcase, and would continue to monitor this development.
Under expanded powers that came into effect last year, the cartel office has taken on cases involving several tech giants, including Amazon, Apple and Facebook owner Meta.
