EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: European Commissioner for Competition
12:30 pm
Ms Margrethe Vestager:
No. The Americans have their own discussions about US tax reform. They are not for me. I am in no position at all to advise the Americans about how they would proceed with their tax reform. I have absolutely no say, nor has the Commission any say, as to when or how Apple might repatriate the profits that are not yet repatriated to the US and not yet taxed in the US. That is absolutely none of the Commission's business.
