In the 2005 referenda debates on the ratification of the Constitutional Treaty, the notions of an area of free and open competition – as it is currently referred to – or undistorted competition – as it would have been referred to if the treaty on the European Constitution had been adopted – were at the centre of the debate.
En efecto, en los debates de los referendos de 2005 sobre la ratificación del Tratado Constitucional ocupó un lugar central el concepto de espacio de competencia libre y abierta, como se dice actualmente, o no distorsionada, como se habría dicho de haberse adoptado el Tratado sobre la Constitución Europea.
