lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of the report by Mrs in ’t Veld, which welcomes the Commission’s 2008 report on competition policy. Indeed, I share this positive view: this change in the Commission’s approach should be noted. In fact, in this report, the Commission explains that it is putting the concerns of consumers at the centre of its activities in relation to competition, and that it considers that the main objective of competition policy is the optimisation of the well­being of consumers. I welcome this. Can it be that the Commission is finally acting fully in accordance with Article 12 of the Treaty of Lisbon, which stipulates that consumer protection must be taken into consideration in the definition and implementation of the other policies of the Union? I also encourage the Commission to continue to engage in the regular dialogue which it has decided to create between its services, consumers and the associations which represent them. In this respect, it is a good thing that, in 2008, a unit was created to deal with consumer relations within the Directorate­General for Competition. We are now requesting a full report on the activities of this unit so that we may have a better idea of how useful it is."@en1
