lpv:translated text	"Regrettably, considerable imbalances still exist in the food chain with regard to the disproportionate concentration of power in the hands of certain large companies. This, in turn, results in unfair commercial practices such as late payment, unilateral changes to contracts, unfair contract terms, restrictions on market access, lack of transparent pricing, retail price fixing, purchasing cartels and, not least, the unequal division of profit margins across the food chain. Rules on competition urgently need to be implemented more effectively in this sector, in order to uncover and prevent abuses of market power and cartel activity. Moreover, agricultural producers and processors – particularly small farmers and SMEs in the food chain – need to be placed in a better negotiating position as regards price levels within the value chain. Such a disproportionate concentration has a negative effect on product diversity in the medium and long term, on cultural heritage, on small retailers, on jobs and thus, on the livelihoods of many people. For these reasons, I voted in favour of this motion for a resolution."@en1
