lpv:translated text	"It is exhilarating to see the Council, the Commission, Parliament and the nation states struggling in their attempts to regulate their sacrosanct competitive market. The concentrations that everyone aspires to control are only, in fact, the logical outcome of this competition in which the biggest fish naturally devour the smallest. Whether it is the Commission or the nation states that pretend to control these battles between financial sharks is of no importance from the workers’ point of view. In any case, capitalist groups already dominate the economy and know how to influence and, at worst, disregard or circumvent the pathetic decisions taken by the European institutions. What the report calls the ‘control of concentrations between undertakings’ has no purpose other than that of defending the interests of certain capitalists against those of others. At no time is it a question of controlling concentrations in such a way that they are useful to society and do not harm employees and consumers. At no time is reference made to the dramatic consequences for the populations of these factory closures, restructurings and social plans accompanying the concentrations. It is to express our absolute rejection of the report’s concerns that we have voted against it."@en1
