Description of Conduct

Premium has lodged an application seeking revocation of authorisation A90745 and its substitution by authorisation A90972. Essentially, the proposed substitute authorisation (A90972) seeks to continue to allow the collective bargaining of farm-gate prices and milk standards through the representative body Premium in direct negotiations with Parmalat (formerly Pauls) for a further period of five years.

On 9 November 2005 the ACCC granted authorisation (A90972) for Premium and its current and future members to engage in collective bargaining arrangements in accordance with:

- the Consolidated constitution of Premium Milk Ltd; and
- the Milk Supply Agreement.

The ACCC granted authorisation for a period of five years.
