Google CEO Eric Schmidt says he will not resign his Apple board position despite a government inquiry.

The Federal Trade Commission is looking at a possible breach of antitrust laws given Mr Schmidt's directorships at Google and Apple.

But Mr Schmidt told reporters: "If there are issues on competitiveness, I recuse myself." He also said that it is well established that he leaves the boardroom whenever the discussion has anything to do with the iPhone.
