Concernant l’art. 8 du projet de loi, la Commission a fait sienne l’approche du Conseil d’Etat. La Haute Corporation a tenu à ce que l’Inspection de la concurrence ne soit pas dirigée par le Président du Conseil mais par un rapporteur général. Ce faisant l’Inspection devient indépendante du Conseil. (Luxembourg)
