British regulators on Friday referred a complaint over iTunes pricing to the European Commission.
In a statement, the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) said that the Commission was in a better position to address the complaint, which charges that Apple's iTunes Music Store discriminates against British consumers by charging them more than others in Europe and preventing them from accessing the cheaper stores.
"The OFT has decided that the European Commission is better placed to consider this matter, in particular as Apple iTunes operates in more than three EC Member States," the agency said.
