The Campaign - Grassroots Political Action Iceland, the first supermarket chain to ban genetically modified food from its stores, said it had secured nearly 40 percent of the world's organic produce and set up long-term contracts with suppliers. Iceland's effort against genetically engineered foods led the marketplace in the United Kingdom and served as an example to the other supermarket chains who soon followed Iceland's lead. ``This means the company will be able to sell organics at the same price as ordinary supermarket own-label food, while ensuring customers and farmers get the best deal,'' it said. www.thecampaign.org /analysis/analysis061600.htm   (1232 words)

REPORT FROM THE BUREAU OF COMPETITION In the recent acquisition of Amigo, the largest supermarket chain in Puerto Rico, by Wal-Mart, the largest general merchandiser in the world, the Commission required divestiture of four Amigo stores where direct competition would be eliminated between Wal-Mart club stores or a supercenter and Amigo supermarkets. Though it had taken enforcement action in a Las Vegas supermarket merger in 1999, the Commission found that significant new entry had occurred in the interim. Kroger's acquisition of 18 Raley's supermarkets in the Las Vegas, Nevada area last year also illustrates how the Commission takes into account the facts specific to each transaction. www.ftc.gov /speeches/other/030404simonsaba.htm   (660 words)

Efta European Fair Trade Association promoting fair trade Instead, the Commission had chosen to invite international supermarket chain Carrefour to speak about the impact and relevance of Fair Trade, which was entirely inappropriate and merely served to propagate the view that large companies alone would make trade fair when showing partial commitment.

Swiss news from swissinfo, the Swiss news platform The new policy brings the toy store into line with a decision taken some time ago by Switzerland's largest supermarket chain, Migros, not to stock toy weapons or products associated with war. Among the toys withdrawn from sale are scale-model kits of military aircraft and battleships, plastic tanks and “action man” figures holding guns in their hands. Board and card games, argues Schmid, promote social interaction among children and can encourage them to make friends, whereas toy guns are dangerous because they are “for the individual rather than the group”. www.swissinfo.org /sen/swissinfo.html?siteSect=111&sid=844874   (428 words)
