...to shield overseas profits from taxation by the EU...

That seems to be a misrepresentration, whether by agenda or ignorance. The EU does not tax corporations or individuals. It does, however, oversee that national tax laws are applied correctly.

Not even that. The nations in the EU are guaranteed Taxation Autonomy by the treaty that created the EU in the first place. The Commission that is pulling his is the Antitrust commission. There is no trust question here.
