Or wake up to the fact that one of the world’s biggest companies has more leverage in this situation than the 12th biggest (by population) country in Europe.
Stereotypical American comment haha, bigger is better. NL really isn't a small player in the EU nor in the global market.
I am not sure how to compare relative strength of Apple and NL, but they seem to be rather formidable entities. One certainly cannot bend the other to their will easily.
I’m sure the 6th fine will be the one that shows NL really means business.
