While regulators did note loopholes that had allowed a McDonald’s franchising unit to avoid paying taxes on either side of the Atlantic, European Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said the investigation into whether the company benefited from special treatment by an EU member state shows the bloc acts objectively.
