The EU Commission could suffer another setback in court in the legal dispute over a billion-euro fine against tech group Intel. In an opinion published on Thursday, Advocate General Laila Medina recommends that the European Court of Justice (ECJ) reject two of six grounds put forward by the Commission against a ruling by the General Court of the European Union. The Court had ruled in 2022 that the Commission had failed to prove that the rebates in question had actually unlawfully forced competitors out of the market.
