The ruling is about news.google.be. and .fr

The bottom line is that the newspapers want to sell their content, not have it available via Google.

The technicalities of this involved an official translation into English and I've not yet seen a document that clearly states the date it was handed over to Google (their 10 days will (IMHO, INAL) only start from that date.

Moreover with the defendant being Google, Inc from Mountain view, CA (the US parent company) I'm afraid they'll be able to ignore the judgement as they're out of reach of the Belgian courts.
