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

12:30 pm

Ms Margrethe Vestager:

As far as I understand, in all these cases it is the company which asks for a ruling. It comes with its evidence and asks for a ruling which it gets. In this process, there was no notification of state aids. The two tax rulings are not in place any longer. There is a new arrangement for Apple. For the future, it is up to the Irish Government to ensure Irish legislation and our common legislation are upheld at the same time.
