Tim Cook responds on the case "Taxes in Ireland"

Tim Cook in the office

Few days ago We told you that the European Commission was on the verge of issuing a report about the controversial case of Apple and Ireland, as regards their idyllic clear tax relationship. They could not wait for the first responses from the Cupertino-based company, with Tim Cook at the forefront of these lapidary phrases. The answers that Tim Cook has given will not leave anyone indifferent with the clear intention of intimidating the European Commission just before issuing its opinion, although everything indicates that they already have it more than clear.

Tim Cook does not seem to have liked the fact that the European Commission intervenes between his dealings with the Irish Government, however, it is clear from the measures taken and the favorable treatment that they are not playing fair. Ireland offers Apple conditions that no country could offer, with the clear intention of breaking the market. This has been the response of Tim Cook:

We know that we are a great business reference in Ireland, as well as being the company that pays the most taxes in the United States and the rest of the world. The current contract with Ireland generates more than sixty jobs since its inception in Cork alone, reaching more than 1,5 million in Europe in general. We know that the European Commission will take the right steps. Their intervention in the free market and Irish tax law would be a severe blow to the sovereignty of the Irish state.

Meanwhile, despite these words from Tim Cook, alluding to political interests, It is more than obvious that the European Commission is going to intervene in the favorable treatment and business inequality that exists in Europe as far as Apple is concerned. Especially if we talk about a company that declares losses in most countries of the European Union, except Ireland, of course.

    They must give Ireland strong for the favorable treatment. After they raise the price of the devices, which are already more expensive than in other countries, although perhaps, they will not benefit from the Android invasion. They will know what they are doing. The European Commission has made Spain return numerous aid that helped maintain employment. Why is Ireland going to be any different?
