The European Commission announced today that it has adopted a decision to open an investigation into possible fiscal State aid by Luxembourg to McDonald's. The adoption of the opening decision is a procedural step that does not pre-judge the outcome of the investigation. This procedure is not related to any other case that is currently open. Luxembourg considers that no special tax treatment nor selective advantage have been granted to Mc Donald's. Luxembourg will fully cooperate with the Commission in the investigation.
