| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 2a. Stresses that, in defining relevant markets and assessing a competitive playing field, the EU should take the global market, and not solely the European market, as its frame of reference; calls also for EU competition policy to move beyond an exclusive focus on low prices for consumers by integrating production-side realities, so as to support a stronger, innovation-driven and sustainable industrial base; |
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 8. Points out that State aid is increasingly used to support industrial policy objectives; recalls that such aid, as permitted under Article 107(3)(c) TFEU, must not adversely affect trading conditions or the common interest; notes the divergent fiscal capabilities of the Member States and warns that fragmented State aid creates an uneven playing field; calls on the Commission to monitor these effects and to ensure the integrity of the single market, which can be done through a common financing instrument for a European industrial policy, such as a European Competitiveness Fund, as proposed by Commission President von der Leyen in her political guidelines; calls on the Commission and the Member States not to engage in subsidy competition, which only exacerbates market distortions, notably when financing undertakings that are not efficient; concludes that temporary State aid frameworks have failed to prevent further market fragmentation and notes that only two of the Member States accounted for 77 % of State aid notified; calls for stricter State aid notification monitoring and enhanced State aid reporting and transparency, in line with the recommendations of the European Court of Auditors; | 8. Points out that State aid is increasingly used to support industrial policy objectives; recalls that such aid, as permitted under Article 107(3)(c) TFEU, must not adversely affect trading conditions or the common interest; notes the divergent fiscal capabilities of the Member States and warns that fragmented State aid creates an uneven playing field; emphasises that a potential future European Competitiveness Fund should respect the sovereignty of Member States and cannot transfer competences to EU institutions, and should at the same time refrain from politically or ideologically driven conditionality; underlines that industrial policy and fiscal policy should remain a national competence and that subsidising policy through common debt risks fuelling further economic divergence and undermining democratic accountability; |

|---|---|
| 15a. Calls for the urgent protection of European SMEs against the dominance of non-EU digital giants; stresses the need to take measures that preserve digital sovereignty, prevent market killer acquisitions and ensure a level playing field for European innovation actors; insists on the necessity of preserving the proper distribution of competences between national authorities and the Commission, and denounces the expansive interpretation of the treaties and regulations; |
