澳大利亞兩大超市涉嫌濫用食品雜貨行為準(zhǔn)則

    食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊   據(jù)澳媒報道，周四澳大利亞競爭與消費(fèi)者委員會（ACCC）在指責(zé)兩大超市為限制與供應(yīng)商的談判，濫用食品雜貨行為準(zhǔn)則（Food and Grocery Code）。該自愿性準(zhǔn)則在今年6月生效，旨在確保超市及其供應(yīng)商之間交易的公平性和透明性。

    據(jù)報道，澳競消委主席西姆斯（Rod Sims）說，制定食品雜貨行為準(zhǔn)則的目的是為了糾正大型食品零售商及其供應(yīng)商，在交涉過程中的不平等。西姆斯表示，澳競消委對一些零售商，特別是Woolworths和ALDI超市在采用該準(zhǔn)則制定食品供應(yīng)協(xié)議（GSAs）時的方式表示擔(dān)憂，因為其可能會讓供應(yīng)商覺得自己不可以就GSAs中的條款與對方談判。

    部分原文報道如下：

    The competition watchdog claims it was acting in the best interests of suppliers and the “new spirit” of the Food and Grocery Code of Conduct when it named and shamed Woolworths and Aldi over their latest supply agreements.

    The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and Woolworths are locked in a war of words over the supermarket chain's new supply contracts, which the competition regulator claims could be interpreted as “take it-or-leave-it documents” by suppliers.

    But Woolworths hit back, saying the ACCC put out a press release only hours after contacting it with fresh concerns.
