>Apple in particular could be the target of an action in that space

Android's market share in Europe is 75%. Google's search market share is over 90%. Any action against Apple would be completely counter productive when it comes to fighting monopolies.

Also, you need to take into account that the Web is a third mobile platform for all intents and purposes, and Windows still dominates the desktop.

So the case for any anti-trust action is extremely weak.

Not against Google, it's not :)

I think that the conditions that Google impose on handset manufacturers are something that probably should be investigated by the Commission. The travel search thing, not so much.
