LUXEMBOURG: Intel's fight against a record €1.06bil (RM4.85bil) EU antitrust fine received a boost on Oct 20 when an adviser to Europe's top court questioned whether the US chipmaker's actions had really harmed competition. 

The opinion from Advocate General Nils Wahl at the Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ) is a rare setback for the European Commission, underlining the tough battle ahead as it takes on Apple, Google and Amazon in various competition cases.
