Apple (AAPL) has accused the European Commission, EC, of using “political delay tactics” to postpone new app policies as a pretense to investigate and fine the company, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg reports. The commission is preparing to cite Apple as the reason behind the shutdown of Setapp, a third-party app marketplace, with the EC claiming “Apple has not rolled out changes to address the key issues concerning its business terms, including their complexity,” according to remarks seen by Bloomberg. Apple claims, however, the shift to the new pricing structure has not yet been implemented due to the EC itself.
