Commission failed
ECJ overturns billion euro fine for Intel
It is now official: the European Court of Justice has confirmed the annulment of the fine of 1.06 billion euros imposed on Intel by the Court of First Instance of the European Union. The EU Commission failed with its appeal.
The EU Commission had accused the chip manufacturer of having a dominant position on the market for X86 processors and considered this to have been abused by, among other things, granting discounts to customers and a computer retailer. However, the ECJ declared the penalty from Brussels null and void.
The case has already taken several twists and turns. The EU Commission's fine was imposed in 2009. In 2014, the Court of First Instance dismissed Intel's action against the Commission's decision in its entirety, but the ECJ overturned this ruling.
At the second attempt, the ECJ annulled the Commission's decision in part and lifted the fine of 1.06 billion euros in full. The EU Commission has now failed in its appeal against this ruling.
