FAS 调查苹果在俄罗斯的反垄断违法行为

俄罗斯反垄断监管机构已对苹果公司发起调查，指控苹果公司从其应用商店下架了银行和支付应用程序。联邦反垄断局对阻止俄罗斯银行提供服务并限制用户从商店外安装应用程序的限制表示担忧。这些行为被视为可能违反反垄断法，促使监管机构要求苹果公司做出详细解释。

Russia's Antitrust Regulator Targets Apple for App Store Restrictions on Russian Banks

俄罗斯反垄断监管机构针对苹果应用商店对俄罗斯银行的限制

Moscow - Russia's Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) has launched an investigation into Apple over concerns that the tech giant may have violated anti-monopoly laws by removing banking and payment apps from its App Store, potentially harming Russian banks and consumers.

莫斯科 - 俄罗斯联邦反垄断局 (FAS) 对苹果公司展开调查，担心这家科技巨头从其应用商店下架银行和支付应用程序，可能违反了反垄断法，可能损害俄罗斯银行和消费者的利益。

FAS has sent a letter to Apple expressing its concerns about the restrictions, which it says prevent Russian banks from offering services through their apps. The move has not only resulted in the removal of apps from the App Store but also prevents users from installing these apps from outside the store.

FAS 已致函苹果公司，表达了对这些限制的担忧，称这些限制阻止了俄罗斯银行通过其应用程序提供服务。此举不仅导致应用程序从应用程序商店中删除，还阻止用户从商店外安装这些应用程序。

The agency has highlighted "signs of violation of anti-monopoly laws" and has requested a "detailed, reasoned statement on this issue" from Apple. This action comes amidst a broader scrutiny of Apple's App Store practices by regulators worldwide.

该机构强调了“违反反垄断法的迹象”，并要求苹果公司“就此问题提供详细、合理的声明”。此举正值全球监管机构对苹果应用商店的做法进行更广泛的审查之际。

In a related development, the United States filed a lawsuit against Apple last month, alleging that the company has monopolized the smartphone market through various measures, including blocking third-party apps that offer contactless payments. Earlier this year, Apple attempted to mitigate antitrust charges from the European Commission by offering third parties access to the NFC chip technology in iOS devices.

相关进展中，美国上个月对苹果提起诉讼，指控该公司通过各种措施垄断了智能手机市场，包括阻止提供非接触式支付的第三方应用程序。今年早些时候，苹果试图通过向第三方提供 iOS 设备中的 NFC 芯片技术来减轻欧盟委员会的反垄断指控。

FAS's investigation into Apple's App Store restrictions marks a significant step towards protecting Russian consumers and promoting competition in the digital marketplace. The outcome of the investigation could set a precedent for future antitrust actions against dominant technology companies and ensure that consumers have access to a wide range of services and applications.

FAS 对苹果应用商店限制的调查标志着在保护俄罗斯消费者和促进数字市场竞争方面迈出了重要一步。调查结果可能为未来针对主导科技公司的反垄断行动开创先例，并确保消费者能够获得广泛的服务和应用程序。

The investigation underscores the increasing focus on anti-competitive practices by Big Tech companies, particularly those that control app distribution platforms. FAS's actions serve as a warning to technology giants that they will be held accountable for any abuses of their market power that harm consumers or stifle innovation.

该调查凸显了大型科技公司，尤其是那些控制应用分发平台的公司的反竞争行为日益受到关注。 FAS 的行动是对科技巨头的警告，如果他们滥用市场力量，损害消费者或扼杀创新，他们将被追究责任。
