If it is obvious, it will be easy to explain the reasons for it

I'm quite sure that Google is glad to not have people like you as CEO.

Tell me how a company like Google, or Apple or Microsoft can do business with the EU without being there. And please, no't give nonsensical reasons like internet is everywhere, that just shows that you don't know much about economy.

Until then, they didn't have offices in the EU because there was no point in sinking that kind of money into countries that would just tax you to death for little in return.
