In May 2026, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) approved the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE)’s request to intervene in the case Apple v. European Commission (T-359/25) in support of the European Commission.
This case concerns Apple’s obligations under Article 6(7) of the DMA. Apple is challenging the European Commission’s decision that lays down procedures on how the company must provide software and hardware interoperability for its smartphone and tablets. The Commission’s decision includes measures intended to improve transparency and access for developers seeking interoperability with Apple’s operating system features, hardware features including access to technical information, communication channels, and clearer procedures for interoperability requests.
