French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday criticised EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager's decision to hire a U.S. economist over a European to help oversee Big Tech, adding her previous work could lead to conflicts of interest.
Leaders of the main political groups at the European Parliament have also chided Vestager for picking, 56, the former chief economist at the U.S. Department of Justice during former President Barack Obama's tenure.
Scott Morton will advise the European Commission on its investigations into Big Tech and its enforcement of a series of landmark rules to rein in tech giants. "I find it questionable to assume that someone's nationality will automatically lead to a bias in favor of companies originating from that same nationality," she told a score of lawmakers in the chamber.
