Google has to pay at least a fine of €34 million (currently about $43,231,000 USD) because it has been unable to comply with a Belgian court order to remove all links to French- and German-language Belgian news sources as of September 5, 2006.

No news about that on French or German news at this time (11:00 PM, Paris time)

Hours before the decision of the court, Google did a partnership with "copiepresse" who sues them, but this do not change anything I see...

If Google got to pay the fine it would be an amount of €34 million. But as Google is no co-operating with Copiepress to remove all the necessary stuff to be removed and vice versa the amount will not be claimed as for my information...
