520			_aReports that the UK groceries market is delivering well to consumers but that competition needs to be improved in some local markets. The relationship between retailers and suppliers also needs to be addressed. Finds that lack of competition in certain local markets allows users to weaken their offers to consumers nationally. Highlights concern over retailers' ability to transfer disproportionate risks and costs to suppliers. Addresses market definition and concentration, barriers of entry to local markets imposed by dominant players, the effects of economy of scale upon convenience retailers and supply chain issues. Recommends local competition tests for new stores.
