STOCKHOLM/BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Facebook Inc on Tuesday said it hopes new draft rules by the European Union aimed at curbing powers of big U.S. companies could set boundaries for Apple Inc, its latest volley in an ongoing feud.

The companies went up against each other after Apple announced a privacy feature allowing users to block advertisers from tracking them across different application.
