Exxon Sues EU Over Windfall Contributions

MACHELEN, FLEMISH BRABANT - DECEMBER 29: The American multinational oil and gas ExxonMobil Corporation headquartered is seen on December 29, 2022 in Diegem, Belgium. The American group ExxonMobil seized Wednesday the Court of Justice of the European Union against the tax on the "superprofits" of the energy giants decided by Brussels, which could according to the company "discourage investments". Adopted at the end of September and officially called the "temporary solidarity contribution", this charge is supposed to be paid by the producers and distributors of oil, gas and coal who have made enormous profits thanks to the surge in prices following the war in Ukraine.
