• One of the potential changes is putting an end to self-preferencing.
• Firms like Apple and Google will also have to allow users to uninstall apps that have originally come with their devices.
• Failure to comply with the new rules could result in fines as high as 10% of the companies’ annual turnover in Europe.
• The remedies could ultimately include forcing companies to disinvest if they breach the rules systematically.
