The U.S. Department of Justice is satisfied with reforms put in place by Apple to comply with antitrust laws and says it no longer requires a monitor to oversee its sales of eBooks, reports Bloomberg. The monitor was put in place after Apple was found guilty of conspiring with publishers to fix eBook prices.The government on Monday recommended that the monitoring not be extended. In a letter to the Manhattan federal judge who found in 2013 that Apple illegally conspired with publishers to set e-book prices, the U.S. said Apple has “now implemented meaningful antitrust policies, procedures, and training programs that were obviously lacking at the time Apple participated in and facilitated the horizontal price-fixing conspiracy found by this court.”The Justice Department said Apple “never embraced a cooperative working relationship with the monitor.” Apple said its relationship with the monitor was “rocky at times” but maintained that it had been cooperative. “Over the past two years, Apple has developed and implemented a comprehensive, engaging, and effective antitrust compliance program,” the company said.Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here
