"The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has closed its existing Competition Act cases into Google’s Play Store and Apple’s App Store as it plans for the roll out of the new digital markets competition regime," the statement read. The decision was taken in connection with the adoption of the Digital Markets, Competition, and Consumers Act (DMCCA) in May, it added. The regulator closed the case based on "administrative priorities," although, the CMA may be able to use powers under the new regime in order to approach the issue more holistically than was previously possible, the statement read.
