Google Challenges Record EU Antitrust Fine in Court (reuters.com)

Google appealed on Monday against a record 2.4-billion-euro ($2.9 billion) EU antitrust fine, with its chances of success boosted by Intel's partial victory last week against another EU sanction.

Europe trying to make money

[WindBourne]

I think that it is interesting that just about every European nations charges a VAT AND goes after corporate taxes, AND a number of them even have sales taxes. And yet, they still scream for more MONEY.
