In September and October 2010, Kiwi Pollen sold pollen imported from Chile, while at the same time making claims that gave its customers the impression that all of its kiwifruit pollen was sourced from New Zealand.
2010年9月和10月，Kiwi Pollen出售從智利進口的花粉，同時聲稱其所有獼猴桃花粉都來自新西蘭。

Kate Morrison, the Commission’s General Manager of Competition, said that, although most of Kiwi Pollen’s product was sourced from New Zealand during that time, Kiwi Pollen did not tell its customers when it was also selling them imported pollen.
委員會競爭總經理Kate Morrison表示，盡管在此期間Kiwi Pollen的大部分產品都來自新西蘭，但Kiwi Pollun沒有告訴客戶何時也向他們出售進口花粉。

“In fact Kiwi Pollen’s website continued to give the impression that all of its pollen was collected from properties in New Zealand,” said Ms Morrison.
Morrison女士說：“事實上，Kiwi Pollen的網站仍然給人一種所有花粉都是從新西蘭采集的印象?！?。

Ms Morrison said that the company also repackaged the imported pollen, attaching ‘Kiwi Pollen New Zealand’ labels to the new packaging. This reinforced the impression that the pollen was from New Zealand, particularly where there were no clear qualifications on its packaging, advertising material or website that some of its pollen was imported.
莫里森女士表示，該公司還重新包裝了進口花粉，并在新包裝上貼上了“新西蘭獼猴桃花粉”標簽。這強化了花粉來自新西蘭的印象，特別是在其包裝、廣告材料或網站上沒有明確資格證明其部分花粉是進口的情況下。

“Our investigation showed that kiwifruit growers consider the country of origin of pollen to be very important,” said Ms Morrison.
莫里森女士說：“我們的調查表明，獼猴桃種植者認為花粉的原產國非常重要。”。

“Those customers who were supplied imported pollen were not aware of the fact it was imported and were denied the opportunity or ability to make an informed decision about whether to purchase it in the first place.”
“那些收到進口花粉的客戶并不知道它是進口的，也沒有機會或能力就是否購買它做出明智的決定?！?/p>

In considering what action to take against Kiwi Pollen, the Commission looked at the possible harm caused to customers and competitors by Kiwi Pollen’s conduct. In particular, the Commission looked into allegations that the imported pollen was a potential source of the Pseudomona syringe actinidiae (Psa) outbreak.
在考慮對Kiwi Pollen采取什么行動時，委員會考慮了Kiwi Poller的行為可能對客戶和競爭對手造成的傷害。特別是，委員會調查了進口花粉是假單胞菌注射錒系（Psa）爆發(fā)的潛在來源的指控。

“We have examined information from numerous sources and have found there is no conclusive evidence to show that the imported pollen sold by Kiwi Pollen caused the Psa outbreak in New Zealand,” said Ms Morrison.
Morrison女士說：“我們檢查了許多來源的信息，發(fā)現沒有確鑿的證據表明Kiwi pollen出售的進口花粉導致了新西蘭的Psa爆發(fā)?！?/p>

We are not satisfied that competitors or customers suffered any provable loss or harm as a result of Kiwi Pollen’s conduct. The conduct was short in duration and no longer continues, and it did not appear to be deliberate. For these reasons the Commission has decided to warn Kiwi Pollen rather than prosecute.
我們不滿意競爭對手或客戶因Kiwi Pollen的行為而遭受任何可證明的損失或傷害。這種行為持續(xù)時間很短，不再繼續(xù)，而且似乎不是故意的。出于這些原因，委員會決定警告Kiwi Pollen而不是起訴。
