EU to investigate Apple over eBook pricing

EU to investigate Apple over eBook pricing

07 December 2011 08:05 (UTC +04:00)

Baku - APA-Economics. The EU is to investigate Apple and five publishers over the price of eBooks.
Hachette Livre, Penguin, Harper Collins, Simon & Schuster and Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holzbrinck are also being investigated by the European Commission, which is concerned the firms may have "engaged in anti-competitive practices" regarding the price of eBooks, "possibly with the help of Apple", which breaks EU antitrust regulations.

Apple iPhone and iPad users can purchase eBooks for their devices from Apple’s iBook store.

"The Commission will in particular investigate whether these publishing groups and Apple have engaged in illegal agreements or practices that would have the object or the effect of restricting competition in the EU or in the EEA," the EU said.
