Il me paraît réellement essentiel de démocratiser et de légitimer davantage la politique de concurrence car, finalement, le choix de l'Union européenne en faveur du marché intérieur, de l'économie de marché et de la concurrence trouve sa justification dans le fait que la concurrence, par sa fonction de répartition, contribue à un partage des revenus plus juste, améliore le bien-être social et, par le biais d'une distribution efficace des facteurs de production, exerce une fonction de régulation.
I really do think it is important for us to make competition policy more democratic and invest it with greater legitimacy than it has had so far, because after all the decisions that the European Union makes on the internal market, the market economy and competition are justified by the fact that competition has a distributive function and is therefore said to contribute to fair income distribution, increase social welfare and act as a mechanism to ensure that the factors of production are efficiently allocated.
