what happened
The European Union has filed a lawsuit against US technology company IBM, French IT group Atos and Italian defence contractor Leonardo. The case concerns repeated delays in building the bloc's new smart border system.
The Financial Times reported the move on Monday, based on internal communications it had seen. Reuters said it could not immediately verify the report.
why it matters
For markets the story is mostly local: it concerns a dispute over one public IT project and is unlikely to move shares of the companies involved or the wider sector. Still, such cases show how the EU can hold large contractors accountable for major technology programmes.
