The EU countries are competing with one another to attract jobs. That's not what the EU framers had in mind. Perhaps the argument is with Ireland not Apple. However I do agree Apple took advantage.

Ireland should be punished in some way too. Their practice of setting lower taxes on corporations is unfair to the rest of EU countries. But tax avoidance in a such profitable corporation must not be allowed.

Multinational companies will always look for the best locations to minimize their tax burden. Hard to blame them. The EU needs to handle their own issues internally
