The Commerce Commission has published a statement of issues relating to an application from Aotearoa Fisheries Limited (trading as Moana New Zealand) seeking clearance to acquire Sanford Limited’s North Island inshore fishing business.
The Statement of Issues outlines the Commission’s potential competition issues with the acquisition following its initial investigation. The Statement of Issues is not a final decision and does not mean that the Commission intends to decline or clear the merger.
The Commission is seeking submissions from Moana, Sanford and other interested parties on the issues raised in the Statement of Issues.
The Statement of Issues can be found on the case register.
