MILAN (Reuters) - An Italian administrative court on Friday rejected an appeal by Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL)'s Google against a decision by Italy's antitrust authority to fine the group, but accepted iPhone maker Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL)'s appeal against the watchdog's ruling.

Last year, Italy's antitrust regulator fined Google and Apple 10 million euros ($10.36 million) each, claiming that the two tech groups had not provided "clear and immediate information" on how they collect and use the data of those who access their services.
