In an unusual move, the U.S. mission to the EU said Tuesday in an email that it had “noted with concern” the Parliament’s draft resolution. “It is important that the process of identifying competitive harms and potential remedies be based on objective and impartial findings and not be politicized,” the email said.

Legal experts expressed similar concerns, describing the Parliament’s move as highly unusual and warning it risked setting a dangerous precedent. “It is a very bad signal,” said Mario Mariniello, a former antitrust official who now works for Brussels-based think tank Bruegel. “Politicization is now getting to an extreme.”
