Passage Of Legislation

Fonterra Co-operative Group Ltd has welcomed today’s passage of the Dairy Industry Restructuring Bill.

“We thank all MPs who supported the Bill to allow for the creation of Fonterra and all that we want to achieve for our shareholders and New Zealand,” Chairman John Roadley said.

“The onus will then be on Fonterra to deliver on the promises we have made, starting with the more than $300 million in annual gains by the third full year after the merger,” Mr Roadley said.
