The failure of her team to win a case that was seen as a big European strategic priority could put her on the back foot in the face of increasing criticism of EU competition enforcement from Paris and Berlin.<\/p>\n<p>Both the French and Germans are ramping up pressure on her to push the competition rule book in a more geopolitical direction, hoping to forge EU champions in the face of U.S. and Chinese rivals, but the Apple case is fast turning into a textbook study of how hard it is to marry strategic ambitions with highly technical legal investigations.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> The run of defeats on state aid is compounded by other problems for Vestager.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Vestagers decision in 2016 argued that, by not taxing the bulk of Apples global profits that were funneled through Ireland, Dublin was effectively granting an illegal subsidy to the iPhone maker. That subsidy could then be tackled by using the EUs rules on state aid.<\/p>\n<p>The judges on Wednesday did not challenge the use of the state aid tool but argued that Brussels had not sufficiently proved its case. \u201cThe Commission did not succeed in showing to the requisite legal standard that [Apple was granted an illegal advantage],\u201d the court said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EUCourtPress\/status\/1283326636348379137?s=20\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The General Court added, \u201cThe Commission was wrong to declare that [two Apple subsidiaries in Ireland] had been granted a selective economic advantage and, by extension, state aid.\u201d Establishing \u201cselective advantage\u201d is a key part of any state aid case, and it was necessary to show that Apple received a tax perk that would have been unavailable to other companies.<\/p>\n<p>Competition policy is supposed to be one of the EUs strongest weapons to drive through overarching political priorities, and it is a growing worry for the Commission that the Apple decision forms part of a broader chain of losses, in which the EU court is increasingly rejecting Brussels state aid decisions over failings in the legal argumentation. The court accepts that it is legitimate to use state aid law to pursue tax cases, but notes failings in the Commissions execution.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Apple judgment is part of a wider trend in EU judicial review that is particularly visible in recent state aid cases,\u201d said Alfonso Lamadrid, a competition lawyer at the firm Garrigues. \u201cThe courts are inclined to endorse the Commissions approach on points of principle, but they are demanding that the Commission does a more thorough job in its assessment of all the relevant circumstances when it bears the burden of proof.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The run of defeats on state aid is compounded by other problems for Vestager over the legacy of her battles with Google over abuse of dominance \u2014 and whether her remedies are really containing the search giant \u2014 and over whether her tough approach to telecoms mergers was justified. Most recently, the General Court also annulled her high-profile decision to block a major telecoms merger in the U.K.<\/p>\n<h3>Triple defeat<\/h3>\n<p>All three lines of reasoning that the Commission used in the Apple case were annulled.<\/p>\n<p>The court did endorse the Commissions methodology of applying OECD tax principles to the situation in Ireland, but rejected its conclusions. It regretted \u201cthe incomplete and occasionally inconsistent nature of the contested tax rulings [granted by Ireland to Apple]\u201d but added that those defects were \u201cnot in themselves sufficient to prove the existence of an advantage,\u201d according to the statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe judgment strikes at the heart of the Commissions reasoning regarding the allocation of income generated by intellectual property,\u201d said Fran\u00e7ois-Charles Lapr\u00e9vote, a state aid lawyer at the firm Cleary Gottlieb.<\/p>\n<p>Apple said it was \u201cpleased\u201d by the result.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis case was not about how much tax we pay, but where we are required to pay it,\u201d a spokesperson said, adding that Apple paid more than $100 billion in corporate income taxes around the world in the last decade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChanges in how a multinational companys income tax payments are split between different countries require a global solution, and Apple encourages this work to continue,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> U.S. President Donald Trump called Vestager the \u201ctax lady\u201d who \u201creally hates the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Irish department of finance also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.ie\/en\/press-release\/2f4d6-initial-comment-by-department-of-finance-on-gceu-ruling-in-the-apple-state-aid-case\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">welcomed<\/a> the judgment: \u201cIreland has always been clear that there was no special treatment provided to the two Apple companies.
