There's something I and a number of other committee members are concerned about when it comes to the code.
You can appreciate that the committee has no information on how the talks are going, so the worry is that you'll adopt a code that is merely symbolic. The players will be able to claim that they are playing nice and being fair because they've adopted this code, and that we'll need to believe them going forward. I don't say that to be disparaging, I assure you.
Will the code deal with the infamous fees as well, or are you open to the idea, at least? When you negotiate prices with suppliers, those who produce perishable items don't have much room to manoeuvre. As Ms. Rood pointed out, they have very little bargaining power. It could even be said that you're in a position of dominance. I'm not accusing anyone of anything. All the committee is doing today is asking questions.
Do you think the code should address those fees to restore some order in the industry?
