Vestager's Return and Calviño's Triumph: EIB's Role in Rebuilding Ukraine

Originally Published 2 years ago — by POLITICO Europe

Margrethe Vestager, the European Commission's executive vice president for a digital age and competition commissioner, failed to secure the top job at the European Investment Bank (EIB) and has returned to her duties at the Commission. With little to lose and only 11 months left in her term, Vestager has important state aid cases and merger control matters to address. She also faces challenges in the digital landscape, including battles with powerful EU digital enforcer Thierry Breton and ongoing disputes with Big Tech companies. Vestager may focus on finalizing ongoing cases, such as the investigation into Google's advertising technology business, and securing her antitrust legacy.

Apple Faces Setback in EU Tax Battle, Could Pay $14 Billion Bill

Originally Published 2 years ago — by MacRumors

An advisor to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has recommended that Apple's victory in its €13 billion tax dispute with the EU should be overturned due to errors in the earlier ruling. While non-binding, the ECJ typically follows such advice, and a binding ruling is expected in the coming months. In 2020, the EU General Court overturned a European Commission ruling that Apple should pay the tax bill to the Irish government. Apple maintains that it received no selective advantage or state aid.
