The European Union鈥檚 competition commissioner has said that Google is one of 鈥渕ore than 300 cases鈥� they are looking at to decide whether a company has 鈥渟elective advantage鈥�.

The SNP has complained to the European Commission about the deal which Google agreed with the UK tax authorities. Claiming it could be in breach of EU state aid rules, designed to prevent individual countries from offering sweeteners to companies which would undermine the single market.
