The ACCC has accepted a section 87B Undertaking from Basfoods (Aust) Pty Ltd (Basfoods) following an investigation relating to breaches of the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), contained in Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (the CCA).
Barossa Farm Produce Pty Ltd engages principally in the production, marketing and distribution of premium pork, poultry and game products to consumers, through restaurants and retailers in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, and through farmers markets in South Australia.
In response to an ACCC investigation into allegations that between about 9 December 2010 and 28 May 2013, the pork used in its "The Black-Pig" labelled smallgoods was not in fact from Heritage breed Berkshire, black pig or free range pork (as represented by Barossa Farm Produce at various times on product packaging, on websites and social media, and in person by Director Saskia Beer), Barossa Farm Produce has acknowledged that its conduct is likely to have contravened:
(a) sections 52 and 53(a) of the TPA, insofar as the conduct occurred before 1 January 2011; and
(b) sections 18 and 29(1)(a) of the Australian Consumer Law (found at Schedule 2 to the CCA) (ACL), insofar as the conduct occurred on and after 1 January 2011.
To address the ACCC's concerns, Barossa Farm Produce has provided the ACCC with a court-enforceable undertaking that it will not make any representations:
(a) about the breed or type of pigs used in "The Black-Pig" labelled smallgoods, in circumstances where it does not know the breed or type of pigs used; and
(b) that it knows the origin of every animal used in the production of "The Black-Pig" labelled smallgoods, in circumstances where it does not know the origin of every animal used.
Barossa Farm Produce has also undertaken to publish a corrective notice on its website, and that its current directors will attend trade practices compliance training.
On 22 May 2014, the ACCC announced that it had accepted an undertaking (the Undertaking) from Caltex Australia Petroleum Pty Ltd (Caltex) in relation to its proposed acquisition of the fuel division of Scotts Group (Scotts)(the Proposed Acquisition).
The ACCC considered that, in the absence of this Undertaking, the Proposed Acquisition would result in competition concerns in the local markets for the retail supply of petrol in Nhill, Victoria and Mount Gambier, South Australia.
In the absence of the Undertaking, Caltex would have controlled the majority of sites in Mount Gambier and, importantly, these would have been located on key transport routes into and out of Mount Gambier.
On 8 May 2014, the ACCC announced that it had accepted an undertaking (the Undertaking) from Shahin Enterprises Pty Ltd (the main operating entity of Peregrine, Shahin) in relation to its proposed acquisition of 25 service station sites from BP Australia Pty Ltd (BP), comprising:
16 sites in metropolitan Adelaide (the Proposed Acquisition); and
nine sites in regional South Australia.
The ACCC considered that, in the absence of this Undertaking, the Proposed Acquisition would have the effect, or would be likely to have the effect, of substantially lessening competition in the retail supply of petrol in local markets surrounding each of the following BP sites:
BP Westbourne Park;
BP Elizabeth Vale;
BP Mitchell Park; and
BP Mile End (each a Local Market).
The ACCC considered that these BP sites and existing Shahin sites in each Local Market are close competitors to each other; taking into account their geographic location, the goods and services that they supply, and the types of customers to which they cater.
Shahin already operates a high proportion of the sites in each Local Market.
