Since the summer of 2013, Luxembourg has had a continued and extensive exchange with the European Commission regarding the Commission’s request for information on Luxembourg’s intellectual property regime as well on its advanced tax decisions which give individual companies the comfort of advanced knowledge of their tax burden.
As it has just received the two injunctions announced earlier today by the Commission, Luxembourg will now duly examine whether these injunctions dissipate the doubts Luxembourg has had so far regarding the legality of the Commission’s request. Luxembourg remains committed to fully cooperate with the Commission within the cooperative mechanisms foreseen by EU law.
