L-Awtorità dwar il-Kompetizzjoni u l-Affarijiet tal-Konsumatur għandha tkun awtonoma mill-gvern, u l-bord tad-Diretturi għandu jkun maħtur minn kumitat parlamentari, wara smigħ pubbliku. Għandha twaqqaf prattiċi monopolistiċi u ‘cartels’, li kemm-il darba jwasslu għal prodotti u servizzi inferjuri.
