... Apple has no operations in Ireland, only a shell company with NO employees and this is what the EU is complaining about. Ireland gets some tax income with no liabilities while the rest of the EU gets nothing to support their operations. This is considered unfair and the EU acted.
TOTALLY INCORRECT. Apple has had a real, bricks-n-mortar presence in Ireland going back decades ... to the late 80's or early 90's I believe. And, currently they employ approximately 6,000 people in Ireland. This more of an issue about whether Brussels or the member EU states have the ability to control taxing policies.
