The new Groceries Supply Code of Practice will come into force on the 4th of February next, when the Government will begin a consultation as to how to best enforce it, and what the nature and powers of the Ombudsman will be.
In the meantime, suppliers are already receiving copies of the Code from some retailers - along with new Terms of Trade regarding purchases. Obviously, some companies will be in a position to refuse to accept new Terms of Trade - but most will not.
Draw your own conclusions.
