Today we fine Teva 462 million euros for breaching @EU_Competition rules.

Teva abused dominance by:
👉disparaging its main competitor
👉misusing the patent system

Here’s 1 minute to explain the disparagement side of the story 👇📺

Shocking news from Mozambique, a country I have been following the last year in a court case in London regarding its 'hidden debt' scandal that plunged the country into an economic crisis

👉Algún día habrá que abrir el melón sobre las tarifas miserables que algunos medios españoles pagan a los freelancers, o sea, a los periodistas que trabajan de forma independiente.
Y me refiero a tarifas “en zonas de conflicto”.
No hablo de todos los medios pero sí de algunos que, además, son relevantes.
Y esto afecta a compañeros/as que se juegan la vida cada día. Y que hacen horarios extenuantes.
¿Qué tal si hablamos de ello?

.@EUCourtPress also upholds @EU_Commission's decision on @Google Shopping.

It confirms that @Google favoured its own comparison shopping service and actively limited choice for European users.

Also a big win for digital fairness 💪

[Margrethe Vestager @vestager]

Today is a huge win for European citizens and tax justice.

👉In its final judgment, @EUCourtPress confirms @EU_Commission 2016 decision: Ireland granted illegal aid to @Apple.

Ireland now has to release up to 13 billion euros of unpaid taxes.

[Sandra Marco Colino @sandramarco]

Apple’s tax sweetheart deal was contrary to #EUStateAid law. #ECJ confirms Commission’s decision & sets aside the judgment of the #EUGeneralCourt. Huge win for @EU_Competition - on the same day that the #GoogleShopping fine is upheld. More when I’ve had time to read the judgment!

AI comes with unique growth & innovation power... that needs open & contestable markets to unlock its full potential.

👉Today @EU_Commission 🇪🇺, @FTC 🇺🇸, @TheJusticeDept 🇺🇸 & @CMAgovUK 🇬🇧 state our joint effort to protect competition in AI, and make sure it serves all consumers.

🚨 Today @EUCourtPress confirmed Bytedance’s designation as a gatekeeper under the Digital Markets Act. This means that all provisions of the DMA apply to @TikTok, like they do to all other designated platforms.

[Carmen Perales @P_Carmen_]

@MollyQuell Is it linked to the South Africa case or is it separate?

[Carmen Perales @P_Carmen_]

This Very Platform breached transparency rules in the Digital Services Act, the European Commission preliminary finds

[Margrethe Vestager @vestager]

In our view @X doesn’t comply with the DSA in key transparency areas. It misleads users, fails to provide adequate ad repository and blocks access to data for researchers. It’s the first time we issue preliminary findings under the Digital Services Act. 👇 https://t.co/WtJ65GPwQY

Mozambique's Centre for Democracy and Human Rights complains that an out-of-court settlement between the government and the banks in the 'hidden debt' scandal is bad for the country and its citizens

[CDD - Centro para Democracia e Direitos Humanos @CDD_Moz]

O Governo anunciou na terça-feira, 1 de Julho, que chegou a um novo acordo extrajudicial no caso das dívidas ocultas que corre termos em Londres.

[Margrethe Vestager @vestager]

📢We informed @Meta of our preliminary finding that its “pay or consent” model fails to comply with the Digital Markets Act

👉It forces users to consent to the combination of their personal data, and fails to provide a less personalised equivalent

Today we open a new case + we adopt preliminary findings against @Apple under the DMA.

👉We are concerned Apple's new business model makes it too hard for app developers to operate as alternative marketplaces & reach their end users on iOS.
