There are only two major card companies, Visa and MasterCard, and there are at least six banks or more. Would it make sense or would it be technically feasible for the interchange rates to be set by the banks rather than the credit card companies? That would seem to lead to potentially more competition, but it possibly wouldn't work. This is why I'm asking the question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1563132\" data-originallang=\"en\">Maybe we'll go to Professor Ware on that one.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1563130\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1563131\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'un de mes coll\u00e8gues a dit lors d'une r\u00e9union ant\u00e9rieure que nous souhaitons tous davantage de concurrence. Il n'y a que deux grandes entreprises \u00e9mettrices de cartes, Visa et MasterCard, et il y a au moins six banques, peut-\u00eatre plus. Serait-il sens\u00e9 ou techniquement faisable que les frais d'interchange soient fix\u00e9s par les banques plut\u00f4t que par les soci\u00e9t\u00e9s \u00e9mettrices de cartes de cr\u00e9dit? Cela permettrait vraisemblablement d'accro\u00eetre la concurrence, mais cette solution pourrait se r\u00e9v\u00e9ler un \u00e9chec. Voil\u00e0 pourquoi je pose la question. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1563132\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vais demander \u00e0 M. Ware de r\u00e9pondre.</p>"
