Apple Insider posted a story that Apple on Tuesday announced that it would be appealing a ruling from Italy's antitrust regulating body that claims the iPad maker has not fully complied with an earlier order to offer a free two-year warranty with every product as mandated by EU law.



The appeal comes on the heels of a warning issued to Apple by Italy's competition authority Autoritá Garante della Concerrenza e del Mercato (AGCM) on Monday that stated the Cupertino-based company had yet to satisfy the two-year warranty stipulation. Apple has appealed the latest ruling and, according to a report from Reuters, claims that it is indeed following the regulations, adding that the AGCM's warning was based on an inaccurate interpretation of the law.

"We have appealed the recent decision of the (Italian) court as it was, in our view, based upon an incorrect interpretation of the law," an Apple representative said. "We have introduced a number of measures to address the Italian competition authority concerns and we disagree with their latest complaint."
