Market power must not be abused! - ECJ ruling on large digital companies

PRESS RELEASE
Brussels, September 10th, 2024
Regarding today’s ECJ rulings against Apple and Google, Rasmus ANDRESEN, the Green Party’s spokesperson for budgetary and financial policy in the European Parliament, states:
“The judgments of the European Court of Justice against Apple and Google are groundbreaking rulings against the market power of large digital companies.
The ECJ confirms our view that the tech giants are abusing their market power. Apple must not be given an advantage when it comes to tax liability, and Google must not exploit its platform function to promote its own products.
According to the Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act, the EU cannot stand still legislatively. The digital companies are too big. The new EU Commission should reform competition law to have another strong instrument at its disposal.”
