Google strikes a deal with the EU over claims that the web search giant stifles competition.

Google has promised to make "significant" changes to how rivals appear in search results in an attempt to avoid a multi-billion euro fine.

The latest changes should be sufficient to end a three-year investigation into the search company, the EU's competition commissioner said.

Google had been accused of giving favourable treatment to its own products in search results. A coalition of companies under the banner Initiative for a Competitive Online Marketplace has been campaigning for years to stop Google discriminating in favour of its own services.

One of those companies is an online mapping service called Hot Map dot com.

Its director, Michael Weber, tells the BBC's Mike Johnson how he believed Google's stranglehold on search damaged his business.
