The Commission opted for augmenting competition, at the potential detriment of innovation, because this was expected to enhance the competitiveness of European industry. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2020 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
