"The retail market undoubtedly functions as a driver of growth, competitiveness and employment in Europe, and it can make a key contribution to achieving the objectives of the EU 2020 strategy. It is essential to build a more efficient, transparent and fairer retail market through an active contribution from the retailers and suppliers themselves, to be complemented at Community level through strengthening of coordination among the different policies and adopting a comprehensive and long-term approach to this sector.
We have to tackle the remaining obstacles to the free movement of goods and services in the EU, especially the existence of more restrictive national rules, divergent interpretations and inadequate enforcement of these rules, which end up limiting the potential of the single market at the service of European citizens and businesses. At the same time, competition rules must be applied properly to prevent abuse of a dominant position or unfair trade practices, and if necessary provide the opportunity for access to simpler, less time-consuming and more transparent infringement procedures. I am in favour of Mrs Bildt’s excellent report, along with its call for the drafting of an integrated European Action Plan for Retail."@en1
