Competition policy – annual report 2024
This is the annual report on competition policy for 2024. Amendments stress a renewed approach to European competitiveness amid a challenging geopolitical context and the need to shield against concentrations of market power while protecting consumers through lower prices, quality, choice and innovation. They debate integrating environmental and climate considerations into competition policy, removing entry barriers, supporting SMEs, and the independence of national competition authorities.

Plenary votes
13 roll-call votesIn plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
