Brussels, 11/12/2013 (Agence Europe) - MEPs have called for support for the retail trade and small traders. On Wednesday 11 December, they adopted a resolution calling for unfair trade practices to be tackled and for small traders' business activities to be promoted in town centres.
The EP's message is in response to the European Commission's action plan on the retail trade, which accounts for 11% of European GDP and 15% of all jobs in Europe.
