Apple, Spotify Streaming Music Deals Said to Be Probed by EU

The world’s largest record labels are being questioned by European Union regulators as part of a probe into their deals with music-streaming services from Apple Inc. and Spotify Ltd., according to three people familiar with the case.

The EU sent questionnaires seeking information on record labels’ deals with streaming services, the people said on condition of anonymity because the EU’s early-stage probe isn’t public yet. Regulators weren’t specifically targeting one company, such as Apple which is working on a Beats Music streaming platform, two of the people said.
