Madam President, I thank the Commissioner for his response. I should nevertheless like to point out – and I have investigated this for myself – that 75 cl of ink-jet printer ink is more expensive than a bottle of champagne. That is surely absurd. I very much have the impression that this is a case of tied selling, whereby printers are sold at bargain prices and ink is very much overpriced. For the time being, I content myself with the Commissioner’s response, but I should like to note that this inquiry should be completed urgently, because this is not benefiting the consumer.
