"The European Union and certain EU Member States have persisted in a continuing course of discriminatory and harassing lawsuits, taxes, fines, and directives against US service providers,"
"The EU is an open and rules-based market, where companies from all over the world do business successfully and profitably,"
"As we have made clear many times, our rules apply equally and fairly to all companies operating in the EU,"
"a safe, fair and level playing field in the EU, in line with the expectations of our citizens. We will continue to enforce our rules fairly, and without discrimination."
The Office of the US Trade Representative publicly warned that the European Union and some member states have pursued discriminatory lawsuits, taxes, fines, and directives against US service providers, listing firms such as Spotify and Accenture. The warning follows enforcement under the EU's Digital Services Act, including a $140 million fine for X, which drew criticism from U.S. officials who described the penalty as censorship. The European Commission affirmed that EU rules apply equally and fairly, asserted a commitment to a safe, fair, and level playing field, and pledged to enforce regulations without discrimination while implementing trade commitments.
