French finance minister says "normal that Apple should pay normal taxes"

Paris, Sep 1 (Reuters) The European Commission was right to order Apple to pay 14.48 billion dollar in back tax, French Finance Minister Michel Sapin said today, backing Brussels as tensions flare with Washington over the ruling.
"The European Commission treated it as abnormal state aid... the European Commission is doing its job," Sapin told a news conference. "It's normal to make Apple pay normal taxes."
The United States has accused the European Union of grabbing revenue intended for US coffers with the decision, comments that could cause friction at an international summit in China next week.
