Apple does not seem too concerned and is ignoring it

The Dutch antitrust watchdog fined Apple another 5 million euros for a third time for failing to allow software application makers in the Netherlands to use non-Apple payment methods for dating apps listed in the company's App Store.

The Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) has been levying weekly fines of 5 million euros on Apple since the company missed a 15 January to make changes ordered by the watchdog.

Apple has twice published information on its own blog about changes it is making to comply with the Dutch order. However, the ACM said it was not receiving enough information from the US company to assess whether Apple was actually complying.

"ACM is disappointed in Apple’s behaviour and actions," it said in a statement. It noted that Dutch courts have upheld its decision, which found that Apple's behaviour violated competition law.
