Descriptions Act 1905(CTDA) and Australia Trade Practices Act 1974 (TPA) (Food Standards Australia

(ANZCERTA)

The Australia-New Zealand Closer Economic Relations Trade Agreement commonly referred as
ANZCERTA is one of the inclusive joint free trade codes. It is responsible for the trade of various goods
including agricultural products. The Treaty’s inner provision is the development of global trade responsible
for free trade zone concerning Australia and New Zealand. Some of the objectives of ANZCERTA may
include: First, strengthening a wide relationship between Australia and New Zealand. Second, is to
develop closer economic relationships among the Member States through an equally helpful extension of
free business between Australia and New Zealand (Hawke, 2011). Third, it is meant to eliminate
impediments to business between New Zealand and Australia in a steady and progressive approach
under an accepted timetable and with minimal restrictions. Last, is to build up business between Australia
and New Zealand under conditions of fair competition.

ANZCERTA has strengthened the growth of trade across the Tasman. Under its 32 years of existence,
the arrangement of trade between New Zealand and Australia has increased tremendously. Many of the
goals of the trade have been successful, the governments of the New Zealand and Australia have agreed
to have Single Economic Market method to bring the economic relations closer (Hawke, 2011). SEM is

How The Treaty Impacts The Goods And Services Of The Nestle Australia

There various ways through which the Treaty influences the goods and services of the Nestle Australia.
For example, the Treaty forces Nestle Australia to have ten years permit for selling Pfizer’s S-26 and SMA
brands, which is followed by ten years ban period in which Nestle Company would not be allowed to re-
enter into the business sector of selling Pfizer's brands. The regulations of the agreement state that any
outsider supplier that wins the permit would have to source the items from Nestle, with a view that it will
manufacture its own particular baby nourishment products within a short period of time. In those 10 year
ban, nobody will get permitted in the direction of selling those products within Australia. However, it is
trusted that the selected supplier would by this period selling its own products. On the other hand,
ANZCERTA has made it easier Nestle goods and services to be manufactured and sold locally in New
Zealand (Hawke, 2011). The agreement has made the Australian government have more control over
what goes over New Zealand by trading or other means. Nestle has become a major player in New
Zealand employing over 650 workers across its six sites. Such treaties have allowed Nestle Australia to
sell most of its chocolates manufactured in Melbourne to markets in New Zealand. Moreover, when there
are no rules governing trade between countries, there will be no control on the quality of the food products
sold to consumers and that could be risking people’s health. Therefore, Treaties and regulations can help
in curbing search operations in an international business.
