The Dutch consumer watchdog said on Monday it would vet Apple's move to allow developers of dating apps to offer non-Apple payment options in the Netherlands, to see if the changes are enough to meet competition rules.
ACM said in a statement that Apple had informed it about how the company intends to comply and the watchdog will now assess whether Apple's response is adequate."As part of that assessment, ACM will sit down with dating-app providers, among other interested parties," it said.
Apple's practice of requiring developers to use its system and pay commissions of 15-30% on digital goods purchases has come under scrutiny from regulators and lawmakers around the world. However, the Dutch order and Apple's response cover only the Netherlands and only dating apps. However, a spokesperson for the company said that Apple would still require some commission from developers on transactions that make use of the new options.
