Description: The Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets rejected the objections filed by Apple against the order to make periodic penalty payments that ACM had previously imposed on the company. In August 2021, ACM imposed this order on Apple for abusing its dominant position by imposing unreasonable conditions on dating-app providers that use Apple's App Store. As Apple had failed to end this infringement within the time frame that it had been given, Apple was required to pay a total amount of 50 million euros in penalty payments. ACM declared unfounded the objections that Apple had filed against that decision. This has been announced to Apple in ACM's decision of July 13, 2023.
