    The Netherlands’ top competition regulator on Friday said Apple broke the country’s competition laws and ordered changes to the iPhone maker’s App Store payment policies.

    Apple’s practice of requiring app developers to use its in-app payment system and pay commissions of 15 percent to 30 percent on digital goods purchases has come under scrutiny from regulators and lawmakers around the world.

    The decision orders Apple to allow dating-apps providers to use alternative payment systems. The company faces a fine of up to EUR 50 million (roughly Rs. 425 crore) if it fails to comply.

    “We applaud the ruling issued today by a Rotterdam Court affirming the ACM’s decision that Apple’s forced use of its in-app payment systems and other practices violate Dutch and EU competition law, and must be eliminated by January 15th,” Match group said in an email statement.
