LONDON (AP) — Apple wants the European Union to repeal its digital competition rule book, saying the regulations are cumbersome and are delaying new features for Europeans such as live translation for AirPods.

The European Commission, the 27-nation bloc’s executive branch, said Thursday that’s not going to happen.

“There is absolutely no intention from the Commission’s side to repeal the DMA,” said Commission spokesman Thomas Regnier, referring to the Digital Markets Act.

The iPhone maker outlined its complaints the day before in a response to a consultation on the DMA, a sweeping set of rules designed to stop Big Tech companies from dominating markets.

The company said “the DMA should be repealed” or scaled back, saying it’s undermining innovation and eroding privacy and security.
