The European Union is on its way to laying a fine on 'Apple' for $ 540 million

The European Union is close to the imposition of the first fine of anti -monopoly, on Apple, as well as a ban on the rules of ‘App Store’, which is according to the ‘Financial Times’ newspaper according to the ‘Financial Times’ newspaper. The newspaper, with the compliance of five sources whose name was not mentioned, expected the announcement of the fine of next month about $ 500 million ($ 539 million). Apple can be fined by up to 10% of its annual global sales. The investigation was started due to a complaint in 2019 from the Swedish company “Spotfai”, which she believes had to increase the price of its monthly subscription to cover the costs associated with the alleged “Apple” grip on the work of ‘App Store’. In February 2023, the European Commission relied on the SO -Called Apple’s anti -conduct rules in an official fee ordinance, saying that the conditions are unnecessary and means that customers face higher prices. In early 2022, Apple began the Digital Markets Act to allow Spotify and other music services to send the application users on the web to register for subscriptions. This exceeds the reduction of ‘Apple’ income by up to 30% and gives consumers more prices and subscription options. But Spotify responded to Apple’s efforts and said in June that the restrictions are still present and that the changes are only for display. Apple proposes a lawsuit for intellectual property for hours of measuring the heartbeat, regardless of the attack of companies for their previous offenses. The commission, which is the fight against monopoly in the European Union, has also led new rules to follow any violations of the competition rules by technology companies before their roots are established. The digital market legislation comes to full implementation next March and determines a series of things to avoid. Under the new legislation, it would be illegal for the strongest businesses to elect their own services over competitors’ services.
