The biggest problem I have with Tim Cook's position is the sovereignty argument. I would stay away from it for now, and let the interested parties pick it up.
Tim Cook: "This would strike a devastating blow to the sovereignty of EU member states over their own tax matters, and to the principle of certainty of law in Europe".
