"I share the concern that unfair commercial practices and dominant positions need to be dealt with, but I am not in favour of imposing robust legislation. The line adopted last year by Parliament, in its report ‘on a more efficient and fairer retail market’, in favour of self-regulation is producing initial results. We have gone from denial and confrontation to constructive dialogue. Stakeholders have agreed on principles of good practice in B2B relations and are now negotiating on implementing measures. At the same time, the Commission is working on a retail action plan and on a communication mapping and assessing existing rules on unfair practices, and has clearly indicated that it will continue to pursue the strategy of consensus. More needs to be done, but it is important to give the ongoing process a chance. Asking for robust legislation at this stage would risk derailing this and undermining the climate of trust. We will continue to put pressure on all the parties concerned and will evaluate the results at the yearly Retail Roundtable, based on facts and data. If self-regulation and the dialogue framed in the High-Level Forum for the Supply Chain should prove insufficient, all options – including legislation – remain open."@en1
