Dutch consumer watchdog gives Apple fifth $5.7 mln fine over App Store dispute

AMSTERDAM, Feb 21 (Reuters) - The Dutch antitrust watchdog fined Apple 5 million euros ($5.7 million) again on Monday, the fifth such fine for failing to allow software application makers in the Netherlands to use non-Apple payment methods for dating apps on the App Store.

The Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) has been levying weekly fines of 5 million euros on Apple since the U.S. company missed a Jan. 15 deadline to make changes ordered by the watchdog. (Reporting by Toby Sterling; Editing by Susan Fenton)
