The EU is the only organisation that has taken on Microsoft, Google, and Apple, among others - and won.

It's a world leader in environmental standards, and some countries - like Germany - are working towards moving to an economy that runs exclusively on renewables.

You're certainly not going to find that kind of resistance in any of the Anglo countries.

you are completely ignoring the collaboration of the Commission with Volkswagen on their diesel emissions fraud, which has resulted in the early deaths of thousands of people

Microsoft bundling a media player is nothing in comparison

of course, MS, Google and Apple are American firms, while VW is German

What collaboration? Do you have links? I really ignore it.
