"We voted against the report because they did not even accept a proposal relating to concern about the abuses of market domination by big business, particularly with regard to the big supermarket chains. These abuse their purchasing power to force down prices paid to suppliers in the European Union and in third countries.
Nor did they demonstrate the necessary determination to investigate the impact that the concentration of the supermarket sector is having on small businesses, suppliers, workers and consumers. In particular, they failed to evaluate the abuses of purchasing power which may follow from such concentration.
The resolution adopted continues the pattern of intervention in defence of competition and against public services. It follows in the footsteps of the notorious Bolkestein Directive, always insisting on the need to comply with the rules of the internal market. Also, regrettably, even as it speaks of the crisis and the difficulties faced by economies, it insists on the Commission being vigilant so that competition is not called into question. In other words, faced with the crisis caused by neoliberal capitalism, the solution is more of the same. That is unacceptable."@en1
