Why should the EU care where Apple parks his money? They don't pay taxes anyway on this?

The EU just ruled that Ireland's tax system was effectively a state subsidy, and thus not allowed under EU tax law. They've told Apple to pay Ireland €12bn.

Ireland is, apparently, trying to appeal this ruling.
