EU spokesperson: Apple and Meta fines are 'proportionate'

The 500 million and 200 million euros fines imposed by the European Union on respectively Apple and Meta Platforms are "proportionate", an EU spokesperson said on Wednesday, reacting to views that they were modest.

"On the fines, are they modest, are they high ? From our point of view, they are proportionate (...) also to the duration and the gravity of the infringement," he said during a briefing.
