> In a statement, a Commission spokesperson welcomed Apple’s changes to its business terms, which it said “follow a close dialogue between the Commission and Apple”.

> “Following today’s announcement, the Commission will monitor Apple’s effective implementation of the new terms,” it added.

There's nothing on the commission webpage, all I could find is the above comments from a spokesperson which aren't hugely definitive.
