The European Competition Commission is preparing another anti-trust lawsuit against search giant Google after a brief hiatus following a change in leadership from Joaquin Almunia to Margrethe Vestager.

The new anti-trust lawsuit will contend Google has been using its search dominance to push other services ahead of the competition. Google denied these charges two years ago and continues to deny them today, claiming there are no strings being pulled to push Google's own services to the top of search rankings.

Even with Google's focus on the search engine, the EU competition agency might look at other new platforms where it's dominant, like Android. Already in Russia, Google faces an anti-monopoly lawsuit from local search provider Yandex that claims Google has forced its own search engine onto Android.

Android has over 85 percent of the total market share on mobile, meaning Google is in a prime spot to create a monopoly of services. It already forces manufacturers to pre-load a strict set of services to have access to the Google Play store.

The Wall Street Journal reports the complaints filed against Google in the previous anti-trust case are being dug up for further evidence. This might mean competitors that spoke out against the practices will have another chance to hit Google.

The U.S. Mission to the European Union late last year suggested politicians should not be influencing the break-up or regulation of Google. It followed a hefty turnout from E.U. members to vote for or against the break-up of Google's search business from its other services.

Even though the motion was backed by most in the EU. Parliament, Google didn't follow through with any sort of break-up. If the Competition Commission is allowed to investigate, it does give them more influence than Parliament, and could see rapid change on how Google providers its services to users.

Google isn't the only company facing court cases in Europe. Facebook has two pending cases, one in Belgium for failing to change its privacy policy and one in the European Court of Justice for sending European personal data over to the U.S. as part of the National Security Agency's PRISM act.

PRISM was revealed by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden who said the system would take personal data from Facebook, Yahoo, Microsoft, Google and Apple and store it. Once stored, the NSA could build a profile of anyone in the world. Internet companies all refuted the allegations, claiming the NSA had no backdoor network access.
