Google has since changed its terms.
The Firm said it was " disappointed" by The Verdict .
" Android has created more choice for everyone, not less, and supports thousands of successful businesses in Europe and around The World , " Google said in a statement.
The European General Court reduced The Commission 's original fine slightly on Wednesday, in order, it said, to reflect " the gravity and the duration" of the infringement.
" The General Court largely confirms The Commission 's decision that Google imposed unlawful restrictions on manufacturers of Android mobile devices and mobile network in order to consolidate the dominant position of its search engine, " it said.
