The French and German complaints are part of a growing move in the European Union to head off Google's mass digitization of literature. "It is not up to any individual organization to determine policy on a matter as important as the digitization of our global heritage," French Culture Minister Frédéric Mitterrand told the Journal du Dimanche following a meeting of his E.U. peers in late November to discuss a united, state-led approach to the matter.
