Steve Troughton-Smith"We have a number of Apple issues. I find them very serious, I was very surprised that we would have such suspicions of Apple being noncompliant”
"This is not what we expected of such a company”

Paraphrased: we're not just mad, but we're also disappointed 😛
Me too, EU. Me too.
From later in the interview, specifically re questions on Apple’s Core Technology Fee:
“We have a toolbox of fines, of doubling fines, of potential breakup of companies”
"We have a very strong toolbox to ‘punish’”
…
"I expected [noncompliance] cases… I'm a bit surprised we have so many cases, so soon, and with more in the pipeline”
“Not only will we be enforcing it, but it will be a top priority”
“The thing is that it's difficult to make good legislation, but if it's only on paper, you should have saved yourself the trouble”
"It's only when you enforce that you change the world, because then you change behavior”
dmitriidI wish they had the same approach with GDPR, too. Enforcement is lacking, and the industry is openly laughing in their face
