The EU has the reputation of disliking big Tech, Google is the prime example. While they Big Tech companies have faced an occasional trip to face congress in the USA, the EU have stung them with sizable fines. This is just another battle that AAPL did not need, after the QCOM case cost them approx $5.5 Billion. If indeed AAPL are found to break anti competitive laws in Europe this could open the floodgates to many such cases. Considering that AAPl are currently taking a 30% cut from Spotify a judgement against AAPL would have huge implications on SPOT's revenue and profit.
