Oh sure nobody knows how it will turn out in detail. But it's important to keep in mind what the EU Commission as the decisive actor wants. If companies would be compensated for the retraction of illegal tax subsidies - for example, by only having to pay the legal tax rate of the alternative country they would have chosen - there would be no incentive to avoid these tax deals: Either a) the subsidy is legal under EU law or b) the company gets compensated and receives the best legal tax rate they could have gotten anyway. But it's just my estimation, I could easily be wrong though. And I'm happy with any outcome, because all lead to lots of billable hours :)
