This report, commissioned by AIM and conducted by NERA Economic Consulting, offers a comprehensive analysis of territorial supply constraints (TSCs) within the EU retail sector.
It critically examines existing studies, notably the VVA study, highlighting methodological shortcomings and the absence of concrete evidence regarding TSCs. The report underscores the necessity for a fact-based dialogue to fully realise the Single Market’s potential, ensuring consumers benefit from increased choice and competitive pricing. It also addresses the implications of regulatory hurdles on market dynamics and consumer welfare.
