the European Commission, which has already ordered the Dutch and Luxembourg authorities to recover up to 30 million euros of Starbucks (O and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (MI :), respectively, said it would study the matter.
“the Commission has taken note of the report and its findings and studied in detail,” said Commission spokeswoman, Vanessa Mock.
