Brussels, 24/10/2003 (Agence Europe) - The US information technology group, Microsoft, will attempt to rally US parliamentarians to its cause against possible anti-trust sanctions by the European Commission, indicates Reuters, which has quoted sources close to Congress. According to these sources, they (Microsoft) think that what the European Union is doing is unusual and wrong and they want pressure to be brought to Monti to the extent that's possible". According to Reuters, Microsoft is scared that sanctions could contravene its amicable settlement it reached two years ago with the US Department of Justice and obliging the same restrictions in the USA as in Europe. For example, selling its Windows system without the software for the multimedia Media Player or proposing a different version to the Americans, which would be very difficult, technically, to carry out. Jim Desler, Microsoft spokesman, refused any comment on the possible discussions with members of Congress, indicating that Microsoft was cooperating with the Commission in an effort to resolve the dispute. The Commission is keeping quiet with just a cursory indication from spokeswomen Amelia Torres, "The Commission is not making any comment about rumours, hence no comment. The case continues".
