Spain Competition Watchdog Initiates Sanction Proceedings Against Apple and Amazon
Spain's national competition authority has launched new sanction proceedings against Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN). The regulator alleges that both companies have failed to comply with a previous order aimed at eliminating anti-competitive practices regarding the sale of Apple products on Amazon's Spanish e-commerce platform. The investigation focuses on whether the current sales arrangements continue to stifle competition within the Spanish market. If the watchdog finds evidence of non-compliance, it could result in significant financial penalties for both tech giants as part of ongoing regulatory scrutiny over digital marketplace fairness.
