The European Commission said it had raided offices of Intel Corp and computer makers and sellers across Europe.Searching for terrorists, perchance?
Commission spokesman Jonathan Todd said: "Commission officials accompanied by officials from national competition authorities are conducting since this morning onsite inspections at several premises of Intel corp in Europe as well as at a number of IT firms, manufacturing or selling computers."
Nope. Protectionista goon squad.
He added: "These inspections are carried out within the framework of an ongoing competition investigation."
You dopes perhaps produce your own processors?No? Quelle domage...
Intel is under investigation by the commission's competition department for alleged unfair trade practices.
Go on boys. Drop those prices again, I dare ya!
