Hotline: IAA presses the EU to launch fuller inquiry

The New York-based International Advertising Association is pressing the European Union to launch a fuller inquiry into the proposed acquisition by Google of DoubleClick.

The IAA first proposed that the transaction should be looked at in August but has now written again to the EU Competition Commissioner, Neelie Kroes, to press its case. Concerns relate to potential privacy and data protection issues.
