STORY: A coalition of 20 app developers and consumer groups on Tuesday (December 16) called upon European regulators to enforce EU laws against Apple.They say the company's fee structure unfairly disadvantages European developers compared to their U.S. rivals.And follows a recent court decision in the United States.The EU's Digital Markets Act mandates that large tech platforms labelled "gatekeepers", facilitate in-app transactions outside their ecosystem at no charge.The coalition's appeal reflects concerns over a disparity following a U.S. court ruling that restricts Apple's ability to impose fees on external transactions.The European Commission earlier this year fined Apple $588 million for breaching the DMA by obstructing developers from guiding users to alternative payment methods.In response to the EU ruling, Apple revised its terms.The Coalition for Apps Fairness (CAF), represents firms such as Deezer and Proton.It argues these revised fees still violate DMA stipulations and says that U.S. developers benefit from more favourable terms after the court decision.
