Yes. They've been rather soft on VW, who got a pat on the back, just like US bankers did after the subprime mortgage crisis. I'm glad the US took a had stance against VW.

You're mixing things, VW case is not an anti trust case.

EU Competition commission has fined a lot more European companies than American companies.

Which ones and for what amounts? Microsoft, Google, Qualcomm were fined more than $1b so far. All of them are US comapanies. Scania was fined €880m for price fixing.

And Mercedes another billion, and Phillips more than $400 million

And there is the whole lot of small fine to other companies.
