Memo: DG Competition publishes the results of Stakeholder Survey

DG Competition has published the results of the first comprehensive survey of stakeholders about their views on DG Competition's actions. The survey was carried out in two parts by two independent market research organisations across professional stakeholders and citizens of all EU Member States. The qualitative study highlighted significant praise for the effectiveness of DG Competition's work and the integrity of its staff. The survey also provided several areas of constructive criticism, together with suggestions for improvement which are now being addressed. DG Competition will use the results of this survey as an input into its antitrust best practices discussions, as well as a basis for internal discussions and for follow up consultations with stakeholders on improving cooperation.
