Good. We have to solve the pricing problem but I want to discuss the variance in contracts that suppliers have. One can see the ones that perform okay and adhere to the code of practice. Has the adjudicator discovered models of good practice? The retailer must, at all times, deal with its suppliers in a fair and lawful manner, and in recognition of the supplier's need for certainty as regards risks and costs of trading, particularly in terms of production, delivery and payment terms. That sums it all up. At present the situation is completely unfair so introducing fairness into the market is what we want to achieve here.
