"I voted in favour of this report because competition policy is an essential tool to enable the European Union to have a dynamic, efficient and innovative internal market and to be competitive on the global stage. The European Parliament welcomes the fact that the Commission responded to the eruption of the crisis in a prompt and reasonable manner by adopting special State aid rules and using competition policy as a crisis management tool. The huge amount of State aid given during the crisis in the form of, for example, guarantee schemes, recapitalisation schemes and complementary forms of liquidity support on bank funding have contributed to severe imbalances in public finances. The Commission should further investigate the competition situation in the retail sector, in particular, the consequences of alleged abuse of market power by dominant retail chains with negative consequences for small retailers and producers in the agriculture and food market. The European Parliament also believes that competition policy should contribute to promoting and enforcing open standards and interoperability in order to prevent the technological lock-in of consumers and clients by a minority of market players."@en1
