EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: European Commissioner for Competition

12:30 pm

Ms Margrethe Vestager:

I do not know because what we are investigating is what actually happened and what was in the tax ruling. Does what was in the tax ruling give rise to a selective benefit to this company? That is what we are looking at. We are not looking at motives or at who did what and when. We are not pointing fingers. There are no fines in state aid control. What we want to happen is for the unpaid taxes to be recovered.
