The EU Commission has yet to decide if it will appeal a court decision in relation to Apple and its tax affairs in Ireland.

Last month, the General Court of the European Union ruled in favour of Apple and Ireland in their appeal against a decision by the Commission that the State had granted favourable tax rulings to the company.
