France will sue Google and Apple for its abuse of trade
Lemer said on Wednesday that he has realized that Alphabet's subsidiaries, Google and Apple, unilaterally impose price and other contractual terms on software developers.
'Therefore, I will bring Google and Apple to the Paris Commercial Court to sue it for abuse of trade,' said Le Maire.
'To such a powerful company, Google and Apple should not treat our startups and developers as they do now.'
Lemer also said that he expects the EU to close its tax loopholes against Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon by 2019. Brussels is currently studying how to increase taxation measures for overseas technology giants in the European market for online business.
