EU antitrust chief Vestager to leave Commission with a bang


Listen Later

EU antitrust head Margrethe Vestager is wrapping up her tenure at the European Commission with two major victories as the European court of Justice ruled against Apple’s Irish tax arrangements and Google’s anti-competitive practices.

These decisions reward her close-to-decade-long battles to tackle Big Tech’s dominance in Europe, marking a significant win for tax justice and fair competition.

But can these rulings influence future EU policy as the current Executive Vice-President for A Europe Fit for the Digital Age and Competition prepares to leave office in November?

To look into those two key court rulings, host Evi Kiorri is joined by our technology reporter, Théophane Hartmann.
