Now I’m curious.. is the EU deliberately targeting US companies or are US companies just more prone to adopting antitrust (by EU standards) practices?
Has the EU cracked down on many non-US companies?
- dontnotice 9y agoYou tell me. It certainly appears that the EU spares no resources at seeking and investigating US corporations and certainly they have no qualm in sticking them with record fines.
- foobarbazetc 9y agoBreak the law, get fined. Why would you have qualms?
- petre 9y agoYes. They've been rather soft on VW, who got a pat on the back, just like US bankers did after the subprime mortgage crisis. I'm glad the US took a had stance against VW.

- Oletros 9y agoYou're mixing things, VW case is not an anti trust case. EU Competition commission has fined a lot more European companies than American companies.
- petre 9y agoWhich ones and for what amounts? Microsoft, Google, Qualcomm were fined more than $1b so far. All of them are US comapanies. Scania was fined €880m for price fixing.
- Oletros 9y agoAnd Mercedes another billion, and Phillips more than $400 million And there is the whole lot of small fine to other companies. The OP was the one claiming, he has to back with numbers.
