Microsoft responds to EU's trustee concerns
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft confirmed on Thursday that it had formally answered a request from the European Commission on the powers an independent trustee would have to monitor the company's compliance with conditions laid down in the antitrust ruling against the firm.
The Commission, which is the E.U.'s antitrust regulator, told Microsoft on April 2 that its proposal on the "monitoring trustee" amounted to a veto over which issues the trustee could examine. The monitoring trustee is an independent person whose appointment must be agreed to by both sides.
