Amendments (8)
Amendment 28 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2 a (new)
Paragraph 2 a (new)
2 a. Takes note that persistent territorial supply constraints (TSCs) exist in some sectors in the EU such as threatening to stop supplying a particular distributor; limiting the quantities available for sale by Member States; inexplicable differences in product ranges and prices between Member States; and limiting language options for product packaging or differentiation on content of the product and that this may contribute to higher consumer prices; calls on the Commission to undertake a EU-wide stakeholder consultation and assessment to conclusively determine if these TSC's amount to supply-chain restrictions and contribute to product differentiation that is not justified by a regulatory requirement or any other constraint and that these actions are fragmenting the internal market as a result;
