According to a recent revelation by the French National Commission for Computing and Civil Liberties (CNIL), European data protection officials will summon Internet search giant's representatives over concerns about the company's controversial user data-collection mechanism.

Disclosing that Google's representatives will be summoned "in the coming weeks," the CNIL said that the representatives will chiefly be asked to give an explanation about the reasons behind Google's failure to take "precise measures" to make changes to its privacy policies, even after the European data protection officials had found in October 2012 that the company's policies violated European law.

Since the European regulators - led by the CNIL and including Britain's Information Commissioner - had given Google four months in October to make some necessary changes to its March 2012-relased new privacy policy or face legal action, the CNIL said that the company could face "repressive action" if it does not give any "precise and effective" response to the regulators' recommendations.

Demanding "significant progress" from Google before the summer, the CNIL-led coalition of 30 European data protection officials said in a statement: "To date, considering that Google has not taken any precise measures in response to those recommendations, the requirements of Directive 95/46/EC are still not complied with."

However, Google, on its part, has asserted that its new privacy policy was in accordance with European law; and that it had enabled the company to create simpler and more effective services.
