What matters is that Microsoft is within the jurisdiction of the EU. It also matters that the actions MS is taking (if, say, the Ivory Coast representative is a pawn of MS) have foreseeable consequences inside the EU. So, the EU may very well look into the actions of MS in the Ivory Coast and be within its jurisdiction.

I think that there might be a sizeable amount of scrutiny of Microsoft's decision making with respect to the Ivory Coast. After the Swedish debacle I thought MS would have become a lot more subtle in there handling of this. Obviously not.
