Thierry Breton announced his resignation from the European Commission ( EC ) on Monday .

Breton is one of the two prominent figures who promoted the DMA and DSA laws, looking to regulate Big Tech companies in the region.

The other is Margrethe Vestager , who stepped down from the EC ’s vice-presidency position under more amicable terms.

The EU ordered Apple to pay $14 billion in unpaid taxes a day after the iPhone 16 was introduced.

It's unclear who will replace Breton and Vestager come early November .

Von der Leyen has been less aggressive, though she supports all the new tech-related laws the EU has passed in recent years .
