Luxembourg : EU court to rule on US$1.1b Microsoft fine June 27
Publish Date : 25-May-2012
Europe\'s second-highest court will rule on June 27 whether EU regulators were justified in fining Microsoft 899 million euros (US$1.1 billion) four years ago for failing to comply with an antitrust ruling intended to make business easier for its rivals.
The European Commission imposed the fine a record at the time after the US software group failed to provide information to firms with competing products, as had been ordered by the EU watchdog in 2004.
The penalty was the first imposed by the EU regulator for non-compliance with an antitrust decision.
The Luxembourg-based General Court of the European Union will issue its ruling next month, the court\'s website showed on Thursday.
