[QUOTE="Muck Spreader, post: 2898880, member: 137"] As I see it, what the EU is unhappy about is that the Irish gov has effectively given state aid and preferential treatment to these selected companies. If the Irish gov had given this preferential rate of 0.005% to all companies registered in Ireland the EU would effectively not have a case. Trying to prevent companies gaining competitive advantage within the EU by these methods was very much one cornerstone of the EEC being replaced by the EU. How many UK manufactures over the years blamed their poor performance on other European countries for unfairly subsidising or giving tax breaks their national industries. [/QUOTE]
