Nov. 14 (UPI) -- The European Union wants Google to dismantle its European-based advertising-technology business, which it has deemed a monopoly, but the tech firm said Friday it has another plan.

Google officials announced they submitted a compliance plan following the European Commission's ad-tech decision, which Google will appeal.

"Our proposal fully addresses the EC's decision without a disruptive breakup that would harm thousands of European publishers and advertisers who use Google tools to grow their business," Google said in a blog post.

Google's proposal "includes immediate product changes to end the specific practices the Commission challenges," it said.
