New Competition Tool (NCT) - Public consultation

The Commission has suggested new rules to tackle what is described as structural competition problems on the markets. The Confederation of Swedish Enterprise rejects the suggested new competition tool and fully endorse the views of BusinessEurope on this matter.

The Commission has suggested new rules to tackle what is described as structural competition problems on the markets. The Confederation of Swedish Enterprise rejects the suggested new competition tool and fully endorse the views of BusinessEurope on this matter. We would also like to emphasise that the statement that concentration and margins have increased in markets throughout Europe is not an established fact. Therefore, the basis on which this new tool is suggested could be questioned. Also, the new tool would entail negative incentives on growth, innovation and risk taking, as well as increased administrative burden, which are the last thing that EU needs in these times of economic crisis due to the pandemic.

Please read our position paper for more information about the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise’s view on this matter.
