"We
really need to avoid a subsidy race, a race that leaves everyone
poorer off," Vestager said in a speech at the University of
Leuven, warning taxpayers would have to fund this.
"In the present circumstances, it may be a temptation too hard
to resist for companies to try to play governments out against
one another, scanning the landscape to see who will pay more -
the risk, of course, is letting taxpayers, whether European or
American, pick up the bill and getting maybe very little from
that investment," she continued.
