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

12:30 pm

Ms Margrethe Vestager:

When we do these cases, we are trying to find the extreme examples. We have been going through quite a number of them. As the committee is aware, we are still asking questions but we have no open investigations. Of course, it is difficult to make predictions, especially about the future, as we say in Danish. Therefore, I do not know what the position will be in two years or during the next mandate of the Commission. At this stage, we have no open investigations.
