"Question No 55by Marit Paulsen , who has been taken over by Olle Schmidt ():
The foodstuffs sector in Europe is currently marked by a clearly increasing degree of concentration, since a few perishables retail chains have taken control of ever larger shares of the market. Excessively close cooperation – particularly on the purchasing side – between such large chains jeopardises free competition and the consumer’s freedom of choice. There is also a serious risk of regional products and small producers being excluded from the market, since they cannot stock the large volumes required by the large-scale system.
Has the Commission ever been forced to restrict the concentration of ownership in the trade in perishables in Europe? If so, what are its views about the threat to the freedom of choice and European diversity in the foodstuffs sector? If no restrictions have been imposed, does not the Commission consider that it impose them as soon as possible?"@en1
