Mr. Robert Malone:

If a black UTP is imposed as part of the legislation, everyone has to go with it. People with the power will row in and will not be caught offside. There is a big change since 28 April in payment terms and conditions and credit terms for suppliers. Retailers had to do so because they knew there was an enforcement authority there. If it is in legislation that one cannot ask a supplier to pay for promotions or marketing, that is it. That is what is being focused on and it will have to be taken into consideration in the food chain. It will be passed it back. If somebody's business is dependent on a contract to supply a certain wholesaler or retailer, the person will not jeopardise his or her whole business by saying he or she wishes the UTP to be black. It does not do what it is meant to do.
