Yes and no. EU told them they need to let other app stores on their devices. Apple did their typical non-compliant song and dance, making devs jump through all kinds of absurd hoops and at the end of it all they still have to pay Apple 26% or something, so basically complete non-compliance. The EU has yet to do anything about it, as far as I can tell.

They also denied Epic's request, stating that their install button looks too much like Apple's.
