Hi all, i’ve been in touch with the European Parliament and Commission about this. The current status is as follows:
Google has appealed the Commission Decision of 18 July 2018 in case COMP/AT.40099 — Google Andrоid a few months after the adoption of the Decision, namely in October 2018. You will find information about the court case (registered as T-604/18) on the website of the General Court, here: T-604/18
With regard to Google’s compliance with the Commission Decision, including with regard to the anti-fragmentation agreements, the company has put in place different measures which are designed to comply with the obligations of the Decision. You will find public information on Google’s website where the company announces various measures to comply with the Decision: https://www.blog.google/around-the-globe/google-europe/complying-ecs-android-decision/
Crucially, Google writes here that:
First, we’re updating the compatibility agreements with mobile device makers that set out how Android is used to develop smartphones and tablets. Going forward, Android partners wishing to distribute Google apps may also build non-compatible, or forked, smartphones and tablets for the European Economic Area (EEA).
