Is EU competition policy a good thing?

Competition - the basic mechanism of market economy - forcing businesses to compete with each other and thus contributing to reduce the cost and improve product quality, meet customer needs, improves the economy. The need to ensure fair competition requires sound policies. Without exageerating we can say that the EU policy in the competition field performs a very important role in the social and economic level. Because of it's mechanisms, first of all there is granted the acces to better goods and services for the consumers because of the EU laws. Second of all it promotes the companies of the fellow states in the eu.

In a basic sense, the competition policy is designed to make the market more fair both for the consumers and for the economical actors. The competition policy is also directed towards the restriction of the bigger enterprises in favour of the smaller ones. By limiting the expansion of huge companies, the competition policy stays healthy for the entire economy, because it does not allow the big companies to grow disruptively and to shut down the smaller ones. This way, the risk of having only big companies - or a hegemonic one, in worst case scenario - is gone. So, the competition policy is healthy for the economic life of the business level, but it is also in favour of consumers, as I said in the beginning, as it allows the consumers to chose between similar products from different supplyers. The prices are more fair for the consumers and they are free to chose the quality-quantity as they seem more appropriate.

In opinia mea, concurenta politica manifesta o presiune constanta asupra intreprinderilor pentru a aduce la dispozitia consumatorilor, oferte cat mai variate la cele mai bune preturi. Consider ca pentru consumatori,beneficiarii finali, concurenta politica reprezinta un factor foarte important,acestia beneficiind de preturi mai mici, calitate mai buna,oferta mai variata, inovare si concurenti mai seriosi pe piata mondiala.

Due to what Alec Burnside said in the interview, EU competition policy is for the consumers, so it is a good thing because it lowers the prices for them. Limiting the expansion of huge companies and minimizing the risk of shuting down the smaller ones, the competition policy keeps a healthy economic life. In this way, it also puts pressure between companies to supply offers, which comes again in the consumers` wellbeing. So the competition policy keeps better quality of the products and a varied and responsable offer.

Concurenta politica este metoda prin care intreprinderile pun la dispozitia consumatorilor o gama variata de oferte,prin prisma faptului ca fiecare isi propune sa aduca pe piata cel mai bun produs,sa comercializeze ceea ce cauta consumatorul si sa vanda. Concurenta poate fi si sub forma unui joc al taxelor vamale in sensul ca unele state scot taxele iar altele au taxe mari pentru devamari. Si in acest plan se poate concura pe plan economic,deoarece cel mai bine va fi vandut produsul cu cele mai putine taxe ale valorii adaugate.
