In addition to the fine, Apple has been issued with a cease-and-desist order requiring it to make further product changes by late June.\u00a0If the firm fails to comply, the Commission can fine it for every additional day it is in breach of the law.<\/p>\n
The Commission is currently assessing changes that Meta introduced late last year in order to comply with the regulation.<\/p>\n
The procedural fines fall short of\u00a0the two giant penalties issued by the EU executive under its antitrust laws last year:\u00a0\u20ac1.8 billion<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0Apple for abusing its dominant position while distributing music streaming apps,\u00a0and\u00a0\u20ac797\u00a0million\u00a0to\u00a0Meta<\/a> for pushing its classified ads service on social media users.\u00a0<\/p>\n A senior EU official said that\u00a0in\u00a0determining the penalties\u00a0announced Wednesday\u00a0the Commission had been mindful that these are the first fines issued under the\u00a0DMA,\u00a0and that, for Meta, the infringement stopped in November, only months after Brussels aired its concerns.<\/p>\n In total, the Commission adopted five DMA-related decisions\u00a0on Wednesday. Along with the non-compliance decisions, both Meta and Apple received a sweetener.\u00a0<\/p>\n The EU executive\u00a0announced it has\u00a0closed an investigation into Apple\u2019s compliance with the DMA\u2019s rules on\u00a0browsers and default apps\u00a0following changes that helped competitors like Mozilla gain a foothold on iOS devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In addition to the fine, Apple has been issued with a cease-and-desist order requiring it to make further…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":43576,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[748,7157,32,393,4884,2441,12,1144,712,479,1201,1219,16,15,49,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-43575","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-digital-markets-act","10":"tag-donald-trump","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-markets","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-northern-ireland","16":"tag-scotland","17":"tag-tariffs","18":"tag-trade","19":"tag-trade-war","20":"tag-uk","21":"tag-united-kingdom","22":"tag-united-states","23":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114386798081827247","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43575","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43575"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43575\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
