(AFP) The US stepped up its fight against the European Commission's
crackdown on tax avoidance by Apple and other multinational companies,
accusing the commission of unilateralism and overstepping its mandate.
In a white paper, the US Treasury said the EC probe into alleged
special tax treatment that certain EU countries gave Apple, Amazon,
Starbucks and Fiat Chrysler "undermines the international tax system."
