Investing.com -- Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) reportedly faces a new antitrust complaint in the European Union filed by two civil rights groups on Wednesday, adding to the company’s regulatory challenges in the region.

Article 19 and Germany’s Society for Civil Rights jointly submitted the complaint to the European Commission, alleging that Apple’s App Store terms and conditions and device policies violate the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), according to Reuters.

This new complaint creates additional regulatory pressure for Apple, which was already fined €500 million ($583 million) in April for breaching the same landmark legislation designed to curb the power of major technology companies.

The DMA represents the EU’s effort to impose stricter regulations on large tech platforms to ensure fair competition in digital markets.
