eWeek Europe UK: MEP Continues To Support Intel Amid EC Anti-Trust Case

Brian Crowley MEP

European legal committee member Brian Crowley has publicly supported an Irish investment by Intel – which was recently fined €1 million for market abuse

An Irish MEP who sits on the European Parliament’s Committee on Legal Affairs has made statements publicly supporting Intel despite the European authority’s decision to fine the chip-maker £953m for abusing its market position.

The comments from Brian Crowley, MEP for The South, one of four European constituencies in Ireland, appear in a press release issued by Intel this week discussing the launch of a new Innovation Open Lab at the Intel Ireland campus in Leixlip, County Kildare.

The launch of the lab was also attended by Conor Lenihan, Ireland’s Minister for Science, Technology & Innovation as well as Dr. Martin Curley, global director, Intel IT Innovation and director, Intel Labs Europe. In a press release issued by Intel, Crowley praised Intel for its contribution to research and development in Ireland.
