lpv:translated text	"The Commission’s 2010 report on competition policy marks the 40th anniversary of this report. EU competition policy has played a major role in removing barriers to the free movement of goods, services, people and capital, and has also reinforced the single market and consumer interests. I particularly welcome the parliamentary report’s acknowledgement that the Commission should actively engage with consumer associations to ensure that competition policy always works in the interest of consumers. As I have consistently argued, the rejuvenation of the single market clearly requires moves away from protectionism. However, I am concerned that the report does not find the correct balance between granting a level playing field to all economic operators and the need to apply competition rules appropriately, given the unique realities of small-island Member States on the periphery of the Union. In all cases, competition rules should take into consideration how they will affect European citizens and consumers, and should ensure that access to essential services is maintained."@en1
