EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager vowed on Wednesday, June 15, to continue her fight against tax measures used by multinationals despite a setback dealt by Europe’s second-top court, which earlier scrapped her €13 billion tax order to Apple, reported Reuters.
Vestager said she would study the General Court’s ruling before deciding on the next step. “The (European) Commission will continue to look at aggressive tax planning measures under EU State aid rules to assess whether they result in illegal state aid,” she said in a statement.
“At the same time, State aid enforcement needs to go hand in hand with a change in corporate philosophies and the right legislation to address loopholes and ensure transparency.”
