There is a separate formal investigation on Android currently: http://ec.europa.eu/competition/elojade/isef/case_details.cf...

Additionally, the EC currently looks into Google's "copying of rivals’ web content (known as 'scraping'), exclusivity in its agreements with advertising partners and undue restrictions of advertisers' ability to use competing advertising platforms" (http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_STATEMENT-15-4785_en.ht...) but that hasn't reached the formal stage yet.

So the answer to my question is still "yes", the statement of objections was only about comparison shopping :)

> but that hasn't reached the formal stage yet

and it may never, considering the changes made for the FTC.
