In a recent survey, more than two-thirds of Europeans said that they had felt the effects of lack of competition: that the price for electricity was too high, that the price for the medicines they needed was too high, that they had no real choice if they wanted to travel by bus or by plane, or they got poor service from their internet provider.
I en nylig undersøgelse sagde mere end to ud af tre europæere at de havde oplevet virkningerne af manglende konkurrence at prisen på strøm var for høj at prisen på den medicin, de havde behov for, var for høj at de ikke havde et reelt valg hvis de ville rejse med bus eller fly eller hvis de fik dårlig service fra deres internetudbyder.
