The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority has closed its investigation into Apple’s in-app payment system “on the grounds of administrative priority”.
In a statement posted to the gov.uk website, the CMA said it no longer considered the investigation a priority but stressed that the case’s closure “does not constitute a decision by the CMA”.
“The CMA will continue to monitor Apple’s conduct in the market. Its decision to close the case on grounds of administrative priority does not prevent, pre-judge or fetter the CMA’s ability, if appropriate, to open an investigation […] in [the] future, or to take action in respect of the conduct considered as part of the investigation”.
