Speech by Executive Vice-President Margrethe Vestager,
Chillin’ Competition Conference,
Brussels, 9 December 2019

"The achievements of the single market, in knocking down the barriers that once divided Europe’s national markets from each other, have made it much more likely that customers will be willing to turn to suppliers anywhere in the single market. The growing ease of global trade, together with the power of digitisation, can make it easier for customers to benefit from truly global markets."
