Teresa Ribera, the EU's competition chief, asserted that the enforcement of the Digital Markets Act against Apple, Meta, and Google is not a bargaining chip in trade talks with the US. She emphasized the EU's commitment to these regulations despite threats of punitive tariffs from the US, aimed at what Trump considers unfair tech rules. Ribera noted ongoing positive negotiations with Apple regarding compliance with the act, indicating updates are forthcoming, while the EU continues to apply substantial fines on major companies like Google.
"Despite the threats, the EU has pressed ahead with enforcement of its digital antitrust rules, with recent fines against Apple Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc. of 500 million and 200 million respectively."
"Ribera rejected suggestions that enforcement of the landmark Digital Markets Act could be sacrificed as part of a deal to dodge punitive EU tariffs pitched by the White House."
