“We hope we can work with them on a clearer policy that does the right thing for consumers and Google’s partners.” It also urged Google to offer a flexible way to restructure and postpone payment terms for advertising services and other fees incurred in the first quarter of 2020. Jarzombek spoke after unveiling a state programme that will invest 2 billion euros in German startups, working mainly with venture capital funds to ensure that funding rounds for promising companies succeed.
