Abstract

[spa] El comercio de detalle en Europa : mercados nuevos y especializacîôn . La Europa del comercio sigue dividida entre un norte con mayor numéro de grandes superficies y un sur en el que dominan las pequenas tiendas. Pesé a la internacionalizaciôn de los productos que los hipermercados ponen a la venta, el comercio de detalle sigue muy influido por los hâbitos nacionales. . Sin embargo, las grandes empresas del sector estructuran cada vez mâs el espacio europeo del comercio. Con tal de evitar una disminuciôn de su rentabilidad, se van orientando hacia los mercados nuevos de los paîses del sur y del este de la Union . Europea. Asimismo van ampliando su campo de actividad al comercio no alimentario, y a otras formas de distribuciôn (venta a distancia, grandes superficies especializadas). [ger] Der Einzelhandel in Europa: neue Markte und Spezialisierung . Durch das Europa des Handeis veriauft nach wie vor eine Trennlinie zwischen dem Norden, in dem es mehr Verbrauchermârkte gibt, und dem Sùden, wo die kleinen Ge- schâft noch vorherrschen. Trotz der Internationalisierung, die in den Supermarkten festgesteilt werden kann, ist der Einzelhandel auch weiterhin stark von den nationalen Gewohnheiten geprâgt. Die groBen Unternehmen dieses Sektors strukturieren jedoch immer mehr den europâischen Handelsraum. Urn RentabilitàtseinbuBen vermeiden zu kônnen, wenden sie sich den neuen Mârkten im Suden und im Ost der Euro- pâischen Union zu. Sie erweitem zudem ihr "Tâtigkeitsfeld, indem sie auch Handel mit anderen Produkten als Le- bensmitteln treiben und neue Vertriebsformen (Versand- handel, spezialisierte Verbrauchermârkte usw.) wâhlen. [eng] The Retail Trade in Europe: New Markets and Specialization . Trade in Europe remains divided between the preponderance of supermarkets in the north and the predominance of small shops in the south. In spite of international products appearing on supermarket shelves, the retail trade is highly influenced by national habits. However, leading companies in the sector are increasingly . structuring the European trade area. In order to ward off a drop in their profitability, they are turning towards new markets in the southern and eastern countries of the . European Union. They are also extending their lines of business to incorporate the non-food trade and other forms of distribution (mail order, specialist stores, etc.). [fre] Le commerce de détail en Europe : nouveaux marchés et spécialisation . L'Europe du commerce reste encore divisée entre un Nord ou les grandes surfaces sont principalement implantées et un Sud où les petits magasins prédominent. Malgré l'internationalisation des rayons des supermarchés, le commerce de détail est fortement marqué par les habitudes nationales.. Mais les grandes entreprises du secteur structurent de plus en plus l'espace européen du commerce. Pour éviter une baisse de leur rentabilité, elles se tournent vers les . nouveaux marchés du Sud et de l'Est de l'Europe. Elles élargissent aussi leur champ d'activité vers le commerce non alimentaire et d'autres formes de distribution (vente . par correspondance, grandes surfaces spécialisées...).
