Apple will not encounter immediate financial fines from the European Commission if it cannot comply with its law on digital markets (DMA) on June 26, despite the fact that she previously received a fine of 500 million euros for violations associated with the App Store.

The European Commission confirmed that financial sanctions against Apple will not automatically be imposed after the expiration of a 60-day preferential environmentally friendly periods. The representative of the commission said that any further fines will follow only the formal analysis of the current behavior of Apple and the procedural exchange of the results between the regulator and the company. ecosystem. According to the commission, Apple prevented the developers from directing users to alternative offers, thereby limiting the user's choice and competition in violation of DMA. The purpose of the legislation is to promote fair competition and the choice of the user by curbing exceptional practices in digital markets. Apple, Meta, Alphabet, Amazon, Bytedance and Microsoft are one of the companies formally designated as gatekeepers in accordance with regulation. DMA also allows fines for disposable in the amount of up to 10% annual global income, doubled for repeated crimes.
the European commission did not provide a schedule when its preliminary appraisal of Apple conformity is completed, and also does not indicate when further forced actions can be taken. Until such determination is made, Apple remains under the threat of potential financial fines, but will not encounter immediate sanctions. The approach of the commission, as described for Euronews, is part of the “constant exchange”, and not the final decision on compliance.
