Microsoft to be Fined €2m a day by EU

Microsoft is accused of not totally abide the antitrust ruling set two years ago by EU, now the latter is to charge Microsoft €2m fine a day.


MICROSOFT is facing the threat of a €2 million (£1.16 million) daily fine after the European Commission claimed yesterday that the software company was continuing to flout the terms of a landmark antitrust ruling delivered two years ago.
In a letter to the American multinational, the Commission cites two reports which claim that it is still failing to disclose details to enable interface with its Windows software.
The move comes as the company is preparing to argue its case with Brussels regulators in a private hearing at the end of the month. It will also challenge the original decision before the Court of First Instance, the junior EU court, in Luxembourg on April 24. (Link to Times)
