Margrethe Vestager, the Vice-President of the European Commission and Organized the Competition, he confirmed the rumors of the Financial Times. Apple has failed to fulfill some of the duties of the Markets, the Digital (DMA), so you will have to make the changes required to avoid a penalty grievous.
Apple has a serious problem with the DMA
The European commission opened a five-investigations at the end of march, against Apple, Google, and Disease. In an interview with CNBC, Vestager said that the company's Cupertino, was not in accordance with the Charter of the Market of Digital:
We have a lot of problems with the Apple, I find it very seriously. I was surprised very much that we would have the suspicion that Apple is not being implemented by the rule of law. A lot of businesses take place via the App Store, and the mechanisms of its payment, so that we are going to put into practice the observance of the law, with the same level of priority in the primary as well as in every other business, even if it's not what you expect from a company like this.
Vestager did not give details on the other, confirming, however, that the investigation will be completed in the following days. According to the Financial Times, the European Commission, it would accuse him of Apple, to the imposition of the so-called clause of the anti-leader, being prevented, and how to tell the users that they can subscribe to the abonime, and the lower prices out of the shop. The rate of 17% responsible for the fees of third parties that can be considered is also against the law.
If it does not make the requested changes, Apple also risks a fine of over one billion euros a day, and/or a fine of up to 10% of its income annually to the global.
