Samtidig skønmales de konsekvenser, som de hidtidige liberaliseringer inden for f.eks. transport, energi og kommunikation har haft, hvilket står i modsætning til, hvad mange bruger- og forbrugerorganisationer kan påvise, nemlig, at liberaliseringerne har betydet vanskeligere adgang til tjenesteydelserne, lavere kvalitet, højere priser og tab af tusindvis af arbejdspladser under påskud af omlægninger inden for den givne sektor.
At the same time, it covers up the effects of the sectoral liberalisations that have already taken place in areas such as transport, energy and communications. Contrary to what is claimed, and as many user groups and consumer protection organisations have proved, liberalisation has led to more difficult access to services, lower service quality, higher prices and the loss of thousands of jobs, on the pretext of sectoral restructuring.
