Unilever acquires The Vegetarian Butcher 20 December 2018 | News | By NFS Correspondent Keeping in mind its new strategy of expanding its portfolio into plant-based foods that are healthier and have a lower environmental impact, Unilever has acquired The Vegetarian Butcher For The Vegetarian Butcher, the acquisition is the next step in its ambition to grow into ‘the largest butcher in the world’. Jaap Korteweg, a ninth-generation meat farmer and a real meat lover, became a vegetarian and founded The Vegetarian Butcher in 2007 to satiate his own need for quality ‘meat’, which was not produced from animals. The products made by The Vegetarian Butcher are being sold in over 4,000 outlets in 17 countries. According to Korteweg, the acquisition has come at the right time. “We want to take the next step - conquer the world. It is our mission to make plant-based ‘meat’ the standard. We believe that with Unilever’s international network, this acquisition will help to accelerate our mission.” Unilever and The Vegetarian Butcher started working together in 2016 when they jointly launched the ‘Vegetarian Meatballs in Satay Sauce’ and ‘Vegetarian Meatballs in Tomato Sauce’, which were marketed under the Unox brand. The acquisition is a step on Unilever’s journey towards a portfolio with more plant-based products. Currently, Unilever is selling nearly 700 products with V-label in Europe. In the Netherlands, these include products from Unox, Knorr, Hellmann’s, Conimex and Ben & Jerry’s brands. Nitin Paranjpe, President Foods & Refreshment Unilever: “The Vegetarian Butcher is a brand with a clear mission, many loyal ambassadors, a good following on social media and a strong position in the market. The brand will fit in well within our portfolio of ‘brands with purpose’, which have a positive social impact, are better positioned to meet the needs of consumers and are growing faster. Importantly, this acquisition will help us to accelerate our journey towards more plant-based food.” The acquisition is being made for an undisclosed consideration and is expected to be completed before the end of 2018. .

March 25, 2021 Via Email Only Subject: Position of Belgian/Dutch Industry Regarding the Digital Services Act the Signatories To
March 25, 2021 Via email only Subject: Position of Belgian/Dutch industry regarding the Digital Services Act The signatories to this letter ask for your attention and support to ensure that the Digital services Act (DSA) provides for the best possible framework for a safe and trusted digital ecosystem for European consumers and European businesses. In September 2020, a coalition of Belgian and Dutch founded companies and associations issued a joint letter that you will find attached. Since last autumn, the draft DSA has been released by the EU Commission. Today, Belgian and Dutch companies and associations together with various international companies that have a seat in Belgium or the Netherlands welcome the EU Commission’s carefully drafted DSA. Within the framework of the DSA, the manufacturing industry embraces the broad definition of ‘illegal content’ to also include products that are not in compliance with Union law or the law of a Member State. In doing so the EU Commission underscores that the scope of the DSA encapsulates counterfeited as well as non-conforming products and all information and advertisements leading to such products. As well as providing for a framework for a safe and trusted digital space, the DSA also has the potential to be an important enabler in the fight against the imports of counterfeited and non-conforming products into Europe. European consumers that intend to buy trusted, safe and innovative goods are too often misled and end up buying illicit goods. According to a recently published study by the OECD and EUIPO 1 56% of all seized goods are shipped by means of containerised traffic.
