The european union wants a new regulation for stores like the app store

Developers who want to have their applications in the App Store must give a 30% commission to Apple. It is the price that they have to pay the Cupertino company to obtain said space. A price that Spotify considers abusive and that it believes gives Apple Music a competitive advantage. So the Swedish company decided to complain.

The European Union wants a new regulation for stores like the App Store

The complaint appears to have taken effect in Europe as the European Union accepts the complaint. In addition, they are ready to introduce a new regulatory framework for app stores such as the App Store or Play Store.

New rules for the App Store

The European Union wants app stores like the App Store to be more transparent in ranking search results. So it is not possible for them to prioritize their services over those of competitors just because they are the administrators of these tools. This is what they want from the European Union.

Although at the moment the measures with which they seek to fight and change the situation in stores such as the App Store are not known. Since there is much to do until the situation can be changed. But it is good that the European Union is willing to introduce a new regulation that helps regulate more efficiently.

So it seems that Spotify's complaint has had its effect in this regard. Since we are seeing the first steps for new standards in this regard. The App Store or Apple have not reacted to this so far.
