JAKARTA - It is estimated that Apple will be subject to a ban on App Store rules governing several music streaming services and possibly large fines from EU regulators, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, December 13.
EU authorities are currently finalizing a decision that would ban Apple from blocking music services that encourage their users to switch from the App Store to alternative subscription options, the report cites sources familiar with the investigation.
The decision is scheduled to be announced early next year and Apple could face a fine of as much as 10% of its annual sale.

The investigation stems from a complaint nearly four years ago from Spotify Technology from Sweden, which claims it was forced to raise its monthly subscription price to cover costs related to Apple's App Store rules.
The European Commission filed an indictment against Apple this year, saying that these conditions are unnecessary and could make customers end up paying more expensive.
Apple has not immediately responded to a request for comment from Reuters. A spokesman from the European Commission declined to comment.
