The decision is a setback for the Commission, which fined Google €8 billion in three competition cases. Just last week, €2.42 billion was confirmed as a final decision.

Google appealed the fine in June 2019, arguing its practices were designed to ensure a consistent user experience. The European Commission now has two months and 10 days to appeal the decision to the European Court of Justice (ECJ).

So, it's just a small part of the fine they got, let's see what happens with the appeal.
