COMMERCE ACT 1975 MERGER OR TAKEOVER PROPOSAL NEW ZEALAND DAIRY BOARD FOR ANIMAL ENTERPRISES, LTD THE Commerce Commission has received a report from the Examiner of Commercial Priactices relating to a proposal by the New Zealand Dairy Board to acquire 100 per cent of the share capital of Animal Enterprises, Ltd. A copy of this (with confidential aspects deleted) Is available from the Commission at the address below. Animal Enterprises, Ltd, has a wholly owned subsidiary, Ambreed New Zealand, Ltd, which specialises in producing semen for dairy and beef cattle for distribution throughout New Zealand. In his Report, the Examiner expressed reservations concerning the concentration in the market for the artificial Insemination of dairy cattle In New Zealand. In particular, the proposal would mean that the merged concern would have approximately 85 per cent to 90 per cent of that market with the balance being held by two smaller companies and by Imports. Barriers to entry to the Industry appear high in view of the long period of research necessary to prove bulls for New Zealand conditions. However, the Examiner considered that the genetic Improvement of the New Zealand dairy herd, which In his view could result from the merger of the Dairy Board and Ambreed, was a public benefit which, in the circumstances of the proposal may offset the concerns to the reduction of competition. The Examiner recommended approval of the proposal for reasons more fully outlined in his Report. In view of the importance of the issue to the farming community and to New Zealand as a whole, the Commission invites the public to comment on the Examiner’s Report. Persons interested are invited to register their interest In making submissions with the Commission by Monday, April 28, 1986. The Commission’s address is P.O. Box 10273, Wellington, telephone (04) 722-477. D. J. Kerr, Executive Officer. zS HURUNUICOUNTY COUNCIL PROPOSED STOPPING OF PORTIONS OF AUCKLAND STREET AND MARLBOROUGH STREET, ASHLEY PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given that pursuant to Sections 319(h) and 3421(a) of the Local Government Act 1974, the Hurunul County Council proposes to stop those parts of Auckland Street and Marlborough Street, Ashley Township, described in the schedule hereto: SCHEDULE That portion of Auckland Street that connects with Upper Sefton Road In the County of Hurunul and which is described as follows: AREA: 1025 sq m.
