lpv:translated text	"We take a positive view of the annual Commission report on competition policy 2010. I think that EU competition policy has brought numerous benefits in terms of consumer welfare and has been an essential tool in eliminating obstacles to the free movement of goods, services, persons and capital. We believe that competition policy is an essential tool for preserving the single market and protecting the consumer interest, even though we think it is important to make some changes and adjustments to update a number of rules in order to deal with new challenges. It is our view that the combined effect of robust principles and flexible procedures is essential, and that this has enabled competition policy to be a constructive and stabilising factor in the EU’s financial system and in the EU’s real economy in general. Furthermore, we would emphasise that, with a view to completing the internal market, there should be greater consistency in consumer rights across the Union. We also point out that a well designed system for collective redress can contribute to consumer confidence and thus to the smooth functioning of the internal market and online trade, boosting the competitiveness of the European economy."@en1
