BRUSSELS, Sept 5 (Reuters) - An adviser to Europe's top

court on Thursday sided with Italy's antitrust authority, saying

Alphabet unit Google's refusal to allow an e-mobility

app developed by Enel access to its Android Auto

platform may breach competition rules.

"Google's refusal to provide third-party access to Android

Auto platform may be in breach of competition rules," Advocate

General Laila Medina at the Luxembourg-based Court of Justice of

the European Union (CJEU) said.

The Italian antitrust watchdog fined Google 102 million euro

($113.18 million) in 2021 for favouring Google Maps while

blocking Enel's JuicePass on Android Auto, a software allowing

drivers to navigate with maps on their car dashboards and send

messages while behind the wheel.

CJEU judges, who will rule in the coming months, usually

follow the majority of such non-binding opinions.

The case is C-233/23 Alphabet and Others.
