Fazer considers that the government’s proposal significantly distorts competition in delicacy products.
Food group Fazer is concerned about the government’s decision to raise sweets to the highest VAT rate, unlike other foodstuffs. Fazer considers that the government’s proposal significantly distorts competition in delicacy products and contradicts the EU’s principle of neutrality.
Group CEO Christoph Vitzthum says in the press release that Fazer is not yet able to take a position on how the plan will affect the company’s business or the decision to invest in a new chocolate factory.
The factory is to be built in Lahti.
