0 Netherlands: District court of The Hague announces verdict in home beer tap issue in summary proceedings

Heineken N.V. announced on December 1 that in a summary proceedings session, the provisions judge of the Court of The Hague ruled today that Heineken’s claim is rejected. He considered the issue too complex for a summary proceedings session. Hence, InBev and Philips are allowed to continue the sale of their home beer tap.

At the end of September, Heineken started an action on the merits and summary proceedings against InBev and Philips. The subject of the two actions was, among other things, the enforcement of a ban on the sale of the home beer tap system manufactured by InBev and Philips for the Netherlands. Heineken is of the opinion that the system (the home beer tap and the small kegs they use) violates various of the company’s patents on the technology incorporated in the BeerTender, the innovative home beer tap of Heineken and Krups. In anticipation of the action on merits, Heineken had started summary proceedings so as to protect its inventions.

Heineken is disappointed by the outcome of the proceedings and is studying the verdict to determine any next steps in due course.

Since the introduction in 2004, more than 150,000 BeerTender systems and

0 Australia: Competition and Consumer Commission will not oppose Lion Nathan’s bid for Coopers

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) stated it will not oppose Lion Nathan's 420 mln aud bid for privately held Coopers Brewery,AFX announced on December 5.

The ACCC announced that the evidence suggests that the removal of Coopers as an independent beer wholesaler would unlikely raise substantial competition concerns.

Whilst the ACCC recognised that Coppers' market share is increasing, including outside of South Australia, its market share remains small, and substantially smaller than the two major beer producers in Australia, Carlton United Breweries and Lion Nathan,' ACCC chairman Graeme Samuel said.

Mr.Rob Murray, Lion Nathan chief executive previously said the takeover bid is now only subject to conditions which are regulatory, with the offer of 310 aud per share substantially above all past pricing benchmarks for Coopers shares.

Following the ACCC's ruling, Murray welcomed the regulator's decision and removed further conditions from its offer, calling on the Coopers board to accept the offer.

'The Coopers board is on record stating that its key concerns were ACCC approval and the condition relating to the Coopers buy-back. Now these concerns no longer apply, we can see no reasonable basis for rejecting the offer,' Rob Murray stated.

Hops News

0 Slovenia: Hops Industry: history and nowadays

Hops have been cultivated in Slovenia for centuries. It is known that in 1156 hops were grown on the land of Bishop Nititabanorum de Lonca near Skofja Loka, according to Slovenian Hop Industry Association. The real beginning of hops growing in Slovenia and the Savinja valley was in 1870. At that time the most suitable variety for growing was a variety called Wuertenberg. 1886 is an important year for our (South Styrian) hops growing industry, namely that was the year when the growers Mr. Haupt and Mr. Hausenbiechler made their first experiments with the variety ‘Golding’. Trial crops were successful and hop growing spread its roots in the Savinja valley. The conditions in the valley were excellent for ‘Golding’ and the quality of crops could be compared to with that of all world producers. It was therefore not difficult to find a market for the crops. ‘Golding’ took the place of the Wuertenberg variety, which was later on - in 1928 - completely destroyed due to a downy mildew.

Nowadays, leading hops growing areas in Slovenia are the Savinja valley (Zalec), the Drava valley (Radlje), and the Sava valley (Brezice).

Hops produced in the Savinja valley are well known all over ...
