The EU referred Ireland to the bloc's highest court on Wednesday for failing to collect 13 billion euros ($14.5 billion) in back taxes from tech titan Apple following a ruling a year ago.
"The European Commission has decided to refer Ireland to the European Court of Justice for failing to recover from Apple illegal state aid," the EU's anti-trust regulator said in a statement.
