It will be interesting if it's the Denmark model or whether they put the responsibility on third party app stores to supply this data to Apple on behalf of the hosted apps.

Either way third party app stores should end up being noticeably more expensive than using the official. Especially once they start having to deal with fraud, chargebacks etc.

And when they start seeing that extra expense they'll go whining to the EU regulators again.
