European Court of Justice (ECJ) Attorney General Giovanni Pitruzzella said on Thursday that the EU's general court had made many mistakes in hearing Apple's 13 billion euro tax case and needed to be reopened.。Such opinions from the European Court of Justice's Attorney-General are usually not binding, although the EU's highest court, in most cases, listens to the Attorney-General's recommendations and says it will issue a binding ruling in the coming months。It is reported that the European Commission ruled in August 2016 that Apple illegally evaded 13.1 billion euros ($14.9 billion) in Ireland, and Apple must return this tax to the Irish government.。Both Apple and the Irish government expressed dissatisfaction with the ruling and filed an appeal.。
