BRUSSELS, March 10 (Reuters) - ⁠German publishers and advertisers on Tuesday called for the country's competition authority to fine Apple over ⁠proposed changes to its app tracking rules, saying they do not do enough to resolve ‌antitrust issues.

The authority had sought feedback from the groups, which include media agencies and the German Association of the Branded Goods Industry, on the changes to its App Tracking Transparency tool.
