"clear rules. The European way of doing business"?

»#EU #antitrust regulators have delayed fining Alphabet's #Google over its #adtech business, while waiting for the United States to cut tariffs on European cars as part of a trade deal, three people with knowledge of the matter said on Tuesday.«

You're traitors to what Europe should be.
