Apple and Amazon took too long to remove anti-competitive clauses, Spanish watchdog says
Apple and Amazon took too long to take out anti-competitive clauses outlining Amazon’s conditions as an Apple distributor that the companies had been told to remove immediately, Spain’s competition regulator ruled on Wednesday.
The CNMC regulator fined the two companies 194 million euros ($228 million) in total in July 2023 over those clauses and ordered their immediate removal from distribution contracts. It said they unfairly restricted the number of Apple resellers on Amazon’s website in Spain. The latest finding of infringement could mean a further fine.
