There is zero chance they will win this on appeal. Vestager should be booted out of her job for this ridiculous waste of taxpayers money. I said at the time on here a few years ago that this was a power grab by the EU commission. The fundamental problem is the US allows its corporations to undercut local competition by 'deferring' their tax payments, then parking their cash offshore and applying political pressure for tax amnesties. One possible solution could be for the EU to apply some minimum tax level against which any US tax payments can be counted, but if there is a shortfall because of deferral tricks the delta gets paid at source.
