Actividades realizadas o en vías de realización The Groceries Code Adjudicator Bill, which passed in the UK Parliament in late 2012, creates a new regulator linked to the Office of Fair Trading (OFT), whose duty is to ensure that the statutory Groceries Supply Code of Practice (GSCOP) is adhered to properly. The GSCOP was created by the UK Competition Commission to ensure fair dealing between large supermarkets and their suppliers. In particular, the Code aims to protect farmers, including indirect suppliers in developing countries, from unfair trading practices of large retail buyers, including protecting them from having to bear the unpredictable costs of waste caused by supermarket buying policies, such as last minute cancellation of forecast orders. The Adjudicator will have the power to name and shame and, in some cases, fine retailers whose policies are in breach of the GSCOP.
