WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Google has “no plans” to relaunch a search engine in China though it is continuing to study the idea, Chief Executive Sundar Pichai told a U.S. congressional panel on Tuesday amid increased scrutiny of big tech firms. Lawmakers and Google employees have raised concerns the company would comply with China’s internet censorship and surveillance policies if it re-enters the Asian nation’s search engine market. Google’s main search platform has been blocked in China since 2010, but the Alphabet Inc unit has been attempting to make new inroads into the country, which has the world’s largest number of smartphone users.

“Right now, there are no plans to launch search in China,” Pichai told the U.S, House of Representatives Judiciary Committee, But he added that internally Google ferrari tourbillon openside cufflinks has “developed and looked at what search could look like, We’ve had the project underway for a while, At one point, we’ve had over 100 people working on it is my understanding.”, Pichai said there are no current discussions with the Chinese government, He vowed that he would be “fully transparent” with policymakers if the company brings search products to China..

In a letter in August to U.S. lawmakers, Pichai said providing such a search engine would give “broad benefits” to China but that it was unclear whether Google could launch the service there. A Chinese government official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told Reuters last month that it was unlikely Google would get clearance to launch a search service in 2019. Pichai did not say what steps Google would take to comply with Chinese laws if it re-entered the market. Under questioning from Democratic Representative David Cicilline, Pichai said he would “happy to engage” to discuss legislation that would empower the Federal Trade Commission to address discriminatory conduct online.

(Reuters) - McDonald’s Corp said on Tuesday it plans to reduce the use of antibiotics in its global beef supply, fueling projections that other restaurants will follow suit. The move by the world’s biggest fast-food chain addresses concerns that the overuse of antibiotics vital to fighting human infections in farm animals may diminish the drugs’ effectiveness in people. McDonald’s becomes the biggest beef buyer to tackle the issue in cattle, potentially creating a new standard for livestock producers and threatening sales by drug companies such as Merck & Co and Elanco Animal Health.

“McDonald’s iconic position and the fact that they’re the largest single global purchaser of beef make it hugely important,” said David Wallinga, a senior health adviser for the environmental group Natural Resources Defense Council, McDonald’s said it will measure the use of antibiotics in its 10 biggest markets, including ferrari tourbillon openside cufflinks the United States, and set targets to curb their use by the end of 2020, The markets cover 85 percent of the company’s global beef supply chain..

Under the McDonald’s policy, medically important antibiotics cannot be used to routinely prevent disease in food animals in the supply chain. The company does not expect the policy to raise hamburger prices, although franchisees set their own menu prices, spokeswoman Lauren Altmin said. Franchisees operate about 90 percent of McDonald’s restaurants. The Animal Health Institute, which represents pharmaceutical companies, said it supported “judicious” use of antibiotics and that drug makers are developing alternatives.

Merck did not respond to a request for comment, Elanco said a small portion of its portfolio includes medically important feed-grade antibiotics, The drugs are used to treat conditions such as liver abscesses and respiratory diseases, for which there are not effective alternatives, spokeswoman Colleen Parr Dekker said, “It is important to ensure that policies do not move faster than science,” she said, Bob Smith, ferrari tourbillon openside cufflinks an Oklahoma-based cattle veterinarian for Veterinary Research and Consulting Services, said farmers have worked to cut back on antibiotic use while keeping cattle healthy, The lack of alternatives limits their options, however, when animals fall ill, he said..
