Intel claims that the European Union (EU) anti -trade regulation has received € 515.55 million euros ($ 536 million) by default interest. The payment was associated with the fines of 1,060 million euros, which was imposed on a chip manufacturer in 2009, and was later overturned by court. In 2022, Intel appealed for the fines and sued the European Commission for € 593 million.
What the EU said about paying Intel’s default interest
“The committee paid the 515 547 908.15 euro a proper interest reward to Intel.” The EU anti -Trust Chief Teresari Bella reported in a written comment to a member of the European Parliament that the press was reported by Reuters.
The court overturned most of the committee’s decision, but supported the regulatory ruling of Intel to pay HP, Acer, and Lenovo to prevent or delay competing products. 。 As a result, the company gave the company an additional fine of 376 million euros ($ 386 million) in 2023.
This case emphasizes the growth trends of companies that are seeking default interest payments from the EU under the unresolved monopoly law. The results of such a dispute may, especially in competitive law enforcement agencies, may form an important precedent for future corporate transactions with EU regulation authorities.
What Intel said after the EU refused to appeal for regulatory authorities
Commenting on the EU’s decision, Intel’s Spokesman said: “We are satisfied with the ruling submitted by the European Union Judge today, and we will ultimately put a part of this case behind us.”
In October 2024, the Supreme Court in Europe supported Intel’s 10.6 billion euros anti -trading fines, refused to appeal to the EU Committee, and supported the 2022 ruling, which concludes legal combat for nearly 20 years. 。
“The judicial court rejected the committee’s appeal and supported the General Court ruling,” the court rejected the 2024 EU regulation authorities.
Last year, when a court adviser criticized regulatory authorities to regulatory authorities, the lawsuit abolished Intel’s antitrust law in 2023, and the case gained further support.
