According to a report in the Financial Times, and reported here by GigaOm, Google is about to reach a deal with the European Commission over antitrust allegations. 

The EC had questioned four aspects of Google's business practices:

• Was Google favouring its own products in search results?
• Was Google reproducing content without permission?
• Was Google using its market position to tell advertisers not to use other providers?
• Was Google ‘locking in' advertisers?

Google is thought to have offered to make 'significant changes to its business practices' although no details have emerged as yet.
