"Mr President, I should also like to thank Mr Monti for coming to Parliament today and making a very clear statement on a very complex issue. It would have been very helpful if we could have had the text in advance, but I understand and hope it will be available very quickly.
I should like to raise two points with him. What concerns British consumers – and much of it is addressed in his proposal – is clearly the question of price. Does the Commissioner see a role for putting price bans and price guarantees in the regulation so it is reviewed after a certain period to ensure that prices are converging? That would give a clear signal about the direction he wants to go.
The second issue concerns freedom of dealers and their ability to invest. He has moved substantially in the right direction but I am concerned, in the example he gave, about the ability of a dealer to Holland to go and invest and set up a dealership in the UK. How is that going to protect dealers who already have a substantial investment? Would it not be much better for them to be able to go and buy cars in Holland and sell them to consumers there, rather than have what could be a random solution which would actually dissipate the impact of the dealers' independence that he wants to give them?"@en1
