"Madam President, I would like to thank my colleague Andreas Schwab for this very readable and excellent competition report and in particular, on behalf of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development, for paragraphs 41, 42 and 43, because they deal in particular with the food supply chain. The call for an investigation into the situation in the retail sector because of alleged abuse of market power by dominant retail chains is particularly welcome. But it is not just because it would have a negative effect on small retailers and producers, it also has a negative effect on consumers. If we have too few controlling this chain, we will have less choice as consumers, and that is really bad for us.
I gather that the high-level forum for the better functioning of the food supply chain is making some slow progress. It seems to me that we in this House need to know exactly what is happening in that discussion at Commission level with the stakeholders, and I hope there will be a report brought to Parliament in the middle of next year."@en1
