"Question No 49 by Eduard Beysen ():
Has the Commission given due thought to the peculiar nature and diversity of the catering sector in Belgium, which is renowned for its wealth of congenial cafés with countless different types of beer, and the impact which introduction of the regulationwould have, in particular the fact that managers of small establishments would suffer? In the absence of brewery contracts, firms with a large share of the market will stop investing in the cafés where they sell their products; instead they will spend the money on mass advertising to consolidate their market position. There will obviously be a bitter price war which would have a detrimental effect not only on the smaller breweries but also on managers of establishments. Is the Commission aware of the fact that the market leaders not only sell their products but often also provide financial support (attractive loans), material support (dispensing equipment, furniture and glasses etc.) and technical support (refrigerating engineers)?
This means that the question is about the sale of beer in Belgium in such mysterious quantities. The Commissioner has the floor."@en1
