European Parliament 14 November 2001, WRITTEN QUESTION E-3128/01 by Jean-Claude Fruteau (PSE) to the Commission. Impact of the ACP-EU partnership agreement and the Everything but Arms initiative on the outermost regions.

Finland is the only Member State which requires investors to explain their position in this way. Is the Commission aware of the problems which Finnish competition legislation is causing for growth enterprises, investors, and the competition authorities? Is the national law in question contrary to the competition provisions of the Treaty and EU competition legislation?
