BRUSSELS, March 7 (Reuters) - EU regulators have been

tasked with into looking into the spat between Apple ( AAPL ) and

Fortnite video-game maker Epic Games as a matter of priority, EU

industry chief Thierry Breton said on Thursday.

"Under the #DMA, there is no room for threats by gatekeepers

to silence developers. I have asked our services to look into

Apple's ( AAPL ) termination of Epic's developer account as a matter of

priority," Breton said on X social media platform.

He was referring to the Digital Markets Act, which Apple ( AAPL ) and

five other big tech companies have to comply with from Thursday

or risk fines.
