This order wanted to devote three major principles. One: freedom of prices fixed by the companies. It was the recognition of free competition, only able to serve the best progress in human society. Two: rules tariff discrimination so that the smaller as the greatest benefit from this right to be competitive: prohibition to treat differently from customers who purchase in the same manner. Three: the rules of healthy competition. Agreements for impeding competition, the abuse of dominant position or economic dependence were clearly regulated. The competition Council was to ensure effectiveness.
Twenty years after, the results are disappointing. Large surfaces grown by eliminating whole sections of companies. In twenty years, agri-food providers have moved 700 wholesalers to only 5 central purchasing. The false trade cooperation has developed. The rear margins amounts charged by the central purchasing suppliers on average exceed 35 of the price rate of suppliers. The penalties for delay are immediate, payment periods are 90 days. Under pressure of the style "you paid or I turns te", forced them to the "costs less", thousands of suppliers, however competent, have disappeared. On the side of consumers, the France products are too expensive.
Since 1986, Governments aware of these failures were repeatedly modified sections of the order of December 1986. The last reform was the deletion of the threshold for resale at a loss from the Galland Act. By allowing the consideration of the rear margins in the resale price, consumer prices were to fall by at least 5. The result is different. Not only the pressure of the central purchasing and rear margins have not decreased, but prices, if they have less increased, have not declined.
Where comes from the inability of the France to shine a free and fair competition to the benefit of all Because in France, we are still reluctant to face the realities of the market economy. It is urgent to restore, in France, capitalism a third dimension, that of the man on the side of the client and that of the shareholders. But the confinement of the France comes from its refusal to take as the repository model more flexible and more mobile to the market economy. The France fought against the size of large surfaces when it should only sanction anti-competitive practices. The France prohibits desirable between SMEs agreements, when it comes to rather encourage them to no longer be isolated from each other. The France obnubile on the artificial price index, when it would be sufficient to allow all stakeholders, and not only to large enterprises, to competition. The France always promises more to the French; It seeks to regulate when the deregulation of Europe, financial globalization and the rise of the US and Asia we impose first, to survive, to develop the spirit of entrepreneurship and the combativeness.
Do not reverse the order of things. It must cease to learn to learn to fight. It is an urgent need to understand: the only way to get out us is to restore common sense without failure and the rules of free and fair competition to human dimension.
