EU readies sanctions against Intel - by Brooke Crothers
The European Commission is moving toward punitive action against Intel for violating antitrust law, according to reports.In the draft decision, the Commission states that Intel abused its market power in violation of EU antitrust law.The 500-page draft was circulated to 27 "national competition authorities" over the past few weeks.Intel has been wrangling with the EU since 2001, when AMD filed a complaint. Last July, the Commission made additional charges against Intel for abusing its dominant position in the chip market in Europe. The charges include offering inducements to European retailers for not buying processors from AMD.
