What consequences can be expected for the European Union after Apple was ordered to pay a 13 billion euro fine?

No one will want to start a large business in the EU

The EU has no advantages over Asian countries. A 50% tax is too high; for example, in Singapore it is 0%. The military conflict between Russia and Ukraine also makes doing business difficult, as sanctions hit the EU itself, raising the prices of all energy sources, which directly affects the prices of goods and services.

The essence of the lawsuit is that all EU countries should impose the same 50% taxes, and if a country is an EU member, it cannot independently make tax preferences. Most likely, soon countries will start leaving the EU, as the United Kingdom did.

How the fixation of russian oil prices will affect the global market?

The introduction of a price ceiling on Russian oil would have a negative impact on the global economy and energy security. This was also confirmed by the International Energy Agency.

China and India have made it clear that they will not comply with the Western embargo. China and India will not be affected in any way. The U.S. is not dependent on Russian oil supplies either. Russia itself is already selling below the delivered price. All these restrictions will only damage the EU and increase dependence on energy resources.

The problem is that there is no free oil on the market and if we introduce restrictions, prices will go up.
