"Mr President, I want to welcome today’s paper from the Commission on the retail market monitoring report: ‘Towards more efficient and fairer retail services in the internal market for 2020’. This is a very important report and I hope it is the first step on the road to greater transparency in the entire retail chain.
Just last week, we saw examples of an inexplicable situation of very low agricultural commodity prices in some Member States, my own included, and yet very high food prices for consumers. There is certainly a market malfunction, as the Commission rightly points out. I think it significant that in this paper, we are looking at not just the economic aspects of retailing but also the social, environmental and consumer impacts in this sector.
I hope that Parliament will put in submissions by 10 September. I hope it does not take 10 years to get a fairer retail sector, because at the moment, both consumers and producers are losing out."@en1
