歐盟欲向科技巨頭發(fā)難
Big tech companies may be penalized by the European Union under plans that might force them to break up or sell some of their European operations. The rules would come into play if the tech giants' market dominance is deemed a threat to the interests of customers and smaller rivals, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.
據(jù)《金融時報》9月20日報道,根據(jù)歐盟的一份計劃,如果大型科技公司的市場主導地位被認為威脅到客戶和較小競爭對手的利益,那么歐盟可能對這些科技巨頭實施懲罰,可能迫使它們拆分或出售部分歐洲業(yè)務。
The proposed solution also would include the ability to exclude large tech groups from the EU's single market altogether, said EU Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton, in an interview with the newspaper.
歐盟內(nèi)部市場專員蒂埃里·布雷頓近日在接受《金融時報》采訪時表示,擬議中的措施還包括將大型科技公司完全排除在單一市場之外的能力。
A rating system also is being considered that would mean companies are measured by their behavior on tax compliance and the speed with which they remove illegal online content, the Financial Times said.
歐盟還在考慮建立一個評級體系,評估企業(yè)在遵守稅務規(guī)定方面的表現(xiàn),以及撤下非法內(nèi)容的速度。
