AMSTERDAM, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Apple AAPL.O argued in a
letter to the Dutch consumer watchdog obtained by Reuters on
Monday that it has complied with an order to open its App Store
to alternative payment providers for dating apps in the
Netherlands.
The Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) has levied
five separate weekly $5.7 million fines against Apple for
failure to comply with the order, saying that Apple's proposed
solutions put an unfair burden on developers.

The letter from Apple to the ACM dated Feb. 28 said the
solution it has offered would require only a "minor technical
change" with no additional costs.
