I think this an interesting topic to put on the table. In EU, the power is split between the governments and the banks, so, enterprises from other sectors has not very much influence on decision-making at this level as they have in the US. In my opinion, the definition of monopoly is "wrong market situation", thus, I'd change the modal verb for "must" and I'd remove the question mark.

The intriguing question here is why a business magazine is raising this concern and why EU is quiet while they fined Microsoft over and over. Is Google lobbying better?
