The decision relates to practices from more than a decade ago that even the (French authority) recognised are no longer in use.”īloomberg meanwhile reports that the regulator itself is considering an appeal. In comments to the news wire, a spokesperson said: “While the court correctly reversed part of the French Competition Authority’s decision, we believe it should be overturned in full and plan to appeal. Reuters reports that the appeals court backed the decision that Apple did abuse the retailers’ economic dependency on the company, but threw out the fixed-pricing charge while also reducing the time scope of the charge of an alleged restriction of Apple’s wholesale customers.Īs such, the fine has been reduced to €372 million, but Apple still said it would appeal the decision.

third-party retailers could not undercut Apple’s list price. It found that Apple imposed prices on retail premium resellers so that prices were aligned with its own retail outlets – i.e. The iPhone maker had been fined by the French antitrust regulator in 2020 for anti-competitive behaviour towards its distribution and retail network in what was at the time a record fine from the watchdog. I do live in a one bedroom, so it's probably not as many kids near me.Apple has seen its €1.1 billion fine for anti-competitive behaviour in France reduced by two-thirds. Seriously, once! Everyone is mature and respectful.ĥ) There are some kids in the neighboorhood, but they're not loud and overbearing. I barely see them, which is great! In the 3 months that I've been here, I've probably actually heard a neighbor ONCE. And people actually pick up their dog poop, so no worries there.Ĥ) My neighbors are quiet and friendly.

If you like to workout outside instead, people don't drive 100 miles per hour in the neighborhood, so you can walk/run around just fine. Okay, it's not a natural lake, but the wildlife and beauty of the lake are real.Ģ) The groundsmen, vendors, pest control team are all professional, respectful, and do a great job.ģ) We have a gym and tennis court that's always kept clean and available for use. The community is beautiful (there's a whole lake is my backyard) and the staff is friendly.

The neighboorhood is really quiet and peaceful.
