EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: European Commissioner for Competition
12:30 pm
Ms Margrethe Vestager:
-----I would take no instructions and seek no instructions in the work but protect the treaty, and I take the doing of that very seriously. It is up to everyone to decide what they find is reasonable, how they want the European part of the democracy to work and how they want law enforcement implemented. For me, the jewel of our co-operation is the Single Market. A level playing field and fair competition is what we expect of that Single Market. In enforcing the state aid rules, the merger control and the anti-trust work, we try to play our part in enabling businesses, big as well as small, to have a fair chance of making it.
