Ms Róisín Fleming:

It is my impression that there is the possibility that current safeguards are insufficient and leave the possibility open for predatory pricing in the future. I cannot say for sure whether there was predatory pricing, but there are insufficient safeguards in place. The more one goes with large contracts, the more incentive there will be for larger companies to use their deep pockets and resources to oust competition in the marketplace.
