The European Union’s digital chief on Monday defended upcoming legislative proposals by the bloc’s executive body to grant publishers new rights, a bid by the EU to help them better negotiate compensation from news aggregators such as Alphabet Inc.’s Google news search that post snippets of their articles on their website.

The new rules make up part of the bloc’s copyright proposals to be presented later this month.
