So, because a company invest in a country that country has to lower the taxes for them?
The one here enaging in a meaningless parsing of word is you because you clearly don't want to understand what the case is about.
So you don't have anything to back your claim that Samsung pay less taxes than Apple in the EU. And not taking into account that what Cook talking about US taxes laws doesn't have to do anything with the EU case
In conclusion, you don't know what you talk about but you still post meaningless things here
I understand very clearly what you believe this case is about. I read over and over again you writing "illegal state aids" "illegal state aids" as if it is some continuation of Bono's project RED. I also understand the EU believes that the case is about "state aid." The EU can reframe and call this whatever they want to call it, but that doesn't make it so. Nothing is decided.
No country "has to" do anything. But this is how the real world works. Companies seek to reduce their expenses and talk to countries to decide on which is the place best suited to help them do that. There is nothing illegal or "state aids" about that.
I gave you a very clear and highly publicized event during which testimony under oath took place in front off the U.S. Congress. I had the impression you were at least reasonably intelligent enough to find a link or the extensive amounts of video that exists from this event on your own by searching the internet, but maybe I was wrong about you. Apparently you need someone to hold your hand through that process. In the first page of what is called a Google search with the search phrase "Tim Cook testifies that Samsung pays lower taxes" I found this link http://www.hani.co.kr/arti/english_edition/e_business/623602.html. There are many other links to the testimony there as well.
No, I don't believe that the case is about ilegal state aids, the fact it is about ilegal state aids. I though that you were at least reasonably intelligent enough to find a link or the extensive documentation about the case. But it seems that you know more about the case than the EU when you say that the EU "believes that the case is about state aids".
What Tim Cook said under oath in the USA means nothing about the case, USA laws and Korean laws means nothing here. Apparently you need someone to hold your hand through that process. The taxes Samsung pays in USA or Korea has nothing to do with the case. So you still don't have anything to back your claims, you don't know what the case is about and you still insults others that know more about that that you. That has a name, and you and tenly are acting just like trolls.

In every reply you post, you write as if the matter has already been decided and you are dismissive to anyone that suggests otherwise. Why don't you post some insight into why Apple and Ireland entered into the agreement in the first place? As many have posted - they were both aware that it is illegal for the government of a country to provide "state aid" to companies - so clearly, they did not think the agreement they negotiated constituted "state aid". What else could it be? And if it is as clear cut as you seem to think it is - why is the issue still being investigated instead of simply moving on to calculating damages/reparations?
How could both Apple and the Irish government make such a big mistake when the law regarding state aid was so well known?
This is an investigation that is under way - and Apple and Ireland are both fighting it. But you post as if it was obviously a case of illegal state aid. What is Apple and Ireland's defence based on?
Can you point were I have stated that it has already been decided? What I'm saying is that the EU is investigating a case about allegedly ilegal state aids, not taxes? Can you understand i t or you still don't get it?
Please, point were I have said anything about anything decided or shut up and read about the case, not what you think the case is or about
