Wholeheartedly agree here - definite undercurrent of protectionism in these highly publicized cases against US firms. Although I'm not sure how long the EU will be around in its current incarnation. It seems to be one more economic downturn away from serious trouble.

I'd like a statistic for that. To me that sounds like a classic observation bias. Just like germans frequently complain how unfairly bad the US gov treats VW or Deutsche Bank. Something i also haven't seen objective info for or against.
