<title>Commission to Microsoft: Preventing interoperability has a price</title>

|
European Commission to fine Microsoft 1.5 million Euro per day
|
|
|
|
|
retroactively from 16. December 2005, totalling 280.5 million Euro.
|
|
|
|
|
Should Microsoft not come into compliance until the end of July 2006,
|
|
|
|
|
the daily fines could be doubled. These fines are a reaction to
|
|
|
|
|
Microsofts continued lack of compliance with the European Commission
|
|
|
|
|
decision to make interoperability information available to competitors
|
|
|
|
|
as a necessary precondition to allow fair competition. FSFE has
|
|
|
|
|
supported the European Commission from the start of the suit in 2001.
