Given the current political context in Europe (Brexit, fears of populations across the continent of loosing their sovereignty to Brussels (i.e the EC), the message of Tim Cook is very political and bold: -"We believe these changes should come about through the proper legislative process, in which proposals are discussed among the leaders and citizens of the affected countries" - "This would strike a devastating blow to the sovereignty of EU member states over their own tax matters" I am not sure this is the way to go. Apple should fight this decision on a legal basis: laws cannot be retroactive - and not a political (borderline populist) one.
