BERLIN, Dec 2 (Reuters) – Germany’s antitrust authority said on Tuesday it is assessing solutions proposed by Apple to address competition concerns over its App Tracking Transparency Framework (ATTF) and has launched a market test to gather feedback from app publishers, media associations, content providers and data protection authorities.

A final decision would follow the market test.
