Competition Manager will drop to foreign food chains – Aftenposten

– Today we close the borders conscious. I think it is so important with better competition in the grocery market that we must consider removing import protection, said Meyer VG. If Coop gets buy ICA, says Norway again with three chains that dominate a market Meyer believes it is very difficult for smaller players to get into.

– The competition is not strong enough. Norway is soon the only country where it does not exist – or is a real threat for the establishment of – foreign players in the grocery market, said competition director.

She believes subsidies can replace import protection, so it should not go beyond Norwegian farmers that it becomes easier for foreign players to drop in on the market.

Farmers’ Association calls on its side Meyers thoughts of “a complete derailment.”

– Already today we import 60 percent of the food we eat, and there are no reasons to do something that raises this, says Secretary General Per Skorge. He thinks it positive that Meyer will do something about the concentration of power among grocery chains. (© NTB)
