During the day, Breton held a meeting with Apple’s CEO Tim Cook and discussed with him how the digital giant is complying with the strict regulations of the Digital Markets Act (LMD).
At LMD’s urging, the European Union (EU) included Apple in a select group of giant companies subject to strengthened regulations and controls.
As a short note, Breton pointed out that “Apple and other large technology companies’ next task under LMD is to open their doors to competitors.”
