lpv:translated text	". The Member States – and France in particular – which have passed legislation, using their sovereign right, to regulate below cost selling and sales, have done so with the clearly stated aim of preserving the balance between manufacturers, distributors and consumers. It is the interests of each of these that the national parliaments have sought to protect. The Commission’s desire, therefore, to remove restrictions on sales promotions, on the grounds of strengthening economic harmonisation, poses a direct threat to the interests and the balance of economic players. It is also – on the grounds of a misinterpreted benefit to the consumer – the image of our leading brands of products that could suffer under the policy ahead of certain manufacturers’ unscrupulous distributors – and their own economic restrictions on which they thrive The amendments adopted by the parliamentary committees, including those that I tabled, have fortunately allowed respect for our national laws to be restored. Only on the condition that Parliament adopts these amendments shall I support this text."@en1
