I don't think the EU is too worried about that. It has already imposed very large fines on both Intel and Microsoft, for example.
Like them, Google has lots of staff and offices throughout the EU.... although (not uniquely) it uses various methods to avoid paying taxes ;-)
Antitrust concerns commonly get enforced against companies within the country raising those concerns, but I don't know of any example of antitrust concerns raised by a country against an entirely foreign company and used to block imports of the company's products.
