BRUSSELS (AP) — EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager says the bloc should agree on a tax to ensure global digital companies pay "their fair share" in Europe.
Vestager, who has been designated to continue her work in the new European commission, said during her confirmation hearing by EU lawmakers that "we want these taxation rules to be based on a global agreement. But if that's not possible by the end of 2020, then we are prepared to act."
