The European Parliament is getting ready to call for a breakup of Google, according to a report Friday by the Financial Times.
A draft motion cited by the FT suggests the separation, or "unbundling," of the Internet giant's search engine from its other services, as one way to challenge Google's dominance. The resolution has the support of Europe's two main political parties, the European People's Party and the Socialists, the FT said.

"It's unprecedented," said David Balto, a Washington, DC-based antitrust attorney and former policy director at the US Federal Trade Commission. He added that he couldn't think of any other example where a governing body got in the middle of a competition case, like the European Parliament is said to be here.
