lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I was delighted by what the rapporteur Anna Maria Corazza Bildt said on this important matter. I am pleased to have an opportunity to say a few words about it. Coming from Ireland where we are in the middle of a difficult recession – IMF bail-out, etc. – I can see exactly where the problems in relation to retail are. One of the real issues here is the survival of businesses – SMEs – in town centres, etc. which are competing against the big multinationals. While we need regulation I am prepared to go along with self-regulation up to a point, but at the same time we have to ensure that the consumer, the processor, the producer and the retailer are all given fair play, and particularly that consumers can have confidence that they are getting fair value for money. I think what we can do at EU level is to give some kind of coherence to that, and certainly this is a start in that regard."@en1
