>After the denial of reports that the EU is postponing fines, while his member states agree with Trump regarding his “mutual” tariffs, the EU has now issued fines for both Apple and Meta. Apple was fined, while Meta was fined $ 227 million, both for the requirement of non -compliance with the law on digital markets (DMA).

“Today's solutions are sent a strong and clear message,” said Teresa Ribera, the new EU Antimonopoly Head. “The law on digital markets is an important tool for unlocking potential, choice and growth, guaranteeing that digital players can work in disputed and fair markets.”

“protects European consumers and aligns the playing field,” she continued. “Apple and Meta do not correspond to the observance of DMA, introducing measures that enhance the dependence of business users and consumers on their platforms.”

In particular, the EU claims that Apple did not fulfill the obligation to allow the developers in their application store to freely inform customers about alternative offers, “to direct them to these offers and allow them to make purchases. It is said that the company accused the EU of discriminating it, and that it provided its technology for free

in the case of META, the EU fined the company's proposal in the European Union Model “Consent or Payment”. This meant that some time of Facebook users were actually forced to accept all ads.

However, the EU also supported one key issue regarding meta. At the moment, the Facebook market is no longer subject to DMA.

This is because Meta convinced the EU that the market does not have enough business users to qualify in DMA conditions that it is a puzzier platform.

which will happen in the following

, despite the fact that Apple, as the case reported, says that it will currently be said that it will currently be Appeal against a fine, currently the law gives the company 60 days. If this does not do this, Apple “risks periodic payments for fines.”

it is also possible that Trump will respond to the EU fine. Until his current second term, Trump said that Tim Cook recently complained to the EU.

Trump's comments were usually unclear, but he concluded, saying that “I am not going to allow them to use our companies and MDash; It will not, you know. ”

: the EU has now fined Apple by about 70% less for this, it would seem, like this, it seems that the European Commission is trying to avoid escalation of the tariff war. Ribera previously claimed that the United States would not mock the USA, but said that it was open for negotiations with the White House.
