Paragraph 6
6. Believes that the development of a European digital economy requires a sufficient level of competition and plurality of service providers, and underlines that the presence of network effects allows for the creation of semi-monopolistic positions; supports the Commission’s efforts in preventing and punishing abuses; encourages the Commission to remove barriers to entry in the field of digital economy in sectors where few players, according to the Commission’s competition standards, are dominant; considers that state aid under conditions of full transparency might be an optimal solution in ensuring that first entries in the digital market are able to consolidate their market position; supports actions for stronger interoperability and portability across all digital sectors as a further way of opening the market to competition.
