新西蘭佳沛公司已與四川國有資產(chǎn)管理公司簽署了一項商業(yè)協(xié)議,以收購在中國種植的4000公頃未經(jīng)許可的陽光金果G3獼猴桃,這些產(chǎn)出的水果可能影響到佳沛現(xiàn)有的市場份額。

The deal would have Zespri buy and market the counterfeit fruit, and China’s government would help the company enforce its rights over SunGold, or G3 – an arrangement touted as a “win-win”.
這筆交易將讓Zespri購買并銷售四川本地種植的G3獼猴桃,中國地方政府將幫助該公司行使對SunGold,又稱G3獼猴桃的權(quán)利——這一安排被吹捧為“雙贏”。

New Zealand Kiwifruit Growers Incorporated (NZKGI) said the trial of a commercial arrangement with the Chinese growers was crucial to gain the Chinese government’s support in enforcing Zespri's plant variety rights.
新西蘭獼猴桃種植者股份有限公司(NZKGI)表示,與中國種植者進行的商業(yè)協(xié)議試驗對于獲得中國政府在執(zhí)行Zespri植物品種權(quán)方面的支持至關(guān)重要。

“Growers are, generally speaking, of the view that we need to do what we can to stop the flow [of counterfeit fruit], and if that means having this small scale trial with China to see how that might work ... we need to test that,” NZKGI chief executive Nikki Johnson said.
種植者聯(lián)盟公司首席執(zhí)行官尼基·約翰遜(Nikki Johnson)說:“一般而言,種植者認為,我們需要盡我們所能阻止(假冒水果)的流通,如果這意味著要在中國進行這項小規(guī)模試驗,看看這可能會如何……我們需要對此進行測試?!薄?/p>

NZKGI was yet to hear directly from growers about the project, and would do so at a meeting this week, Johnson said.
約翰遜說,種植者聯(lián)盟公司尚未直接聽取新西蘭獼猴桃種植者關(guān)于該項目的意見,并將在本周的一次會議上這樣做。

She had heard some concern that Zespri would be handing information and technology for SunGold production over to Chinese firms, but said “whether that's a great risk in China than it is in other markets, I'm just not sure”.
她聽到有人擔心Zespri會將陽光金果G3獼猴桃生產(chǎn)的信息和種植技術(shù)傳授給中國公司,但她表示,“這是一個巨大的風險,我真的不確定?!?/p>

Kiwifruit grower and Tauranga-based lawyer Marcus Wilkins said growers should be demanding more advice about Zespri’s China project, and a broader investigation was needed.
獼猴桃種植者和陶朗加區(qū)律師馬庫斯·威爾金斯(Marcus Wilkins)說,種植者應(yīng)該要求更多關(guān)于Zespri中國金奇異果試種項目的建議,需要更廣泛的調(diào)查。

Some 4000ha of unlicensed SunGold kiwifruit is being grown in China, after the variety was stolen from Zespri. It’s broadly expected the illicit planting of SunGold will only expand.
中國現(xiàn)在種植了約4000公頃未經(jīng)許可的陽光獼猴桃G3獼猴桃品種,此前該品種從Zespri流出。人們普遍預(yù)計,非法種植面積將進一步擴大。

“There should be a thorough, independent, investigation into how this has arisen and whether the actions that are proposed are actually going to protect the taxpayers’ investment in this variety.”
“應(yīng)該進行徹底、獨立的調(diào)查,以了解這種情況是如何發(fā)生的,以及擬議的行動是否真的會保護納稅人在這一品種上的投資。”

He said there may be “rationale” to attempting to buy the counterfeit fruit, however Zespri should be taking more steps to enforce intellectual property rights in China’s courts.
他說,佳沛管理層試圖購買假冒水果可能有“理由”,但Zespri公司應(yīng)采取更多措施在中國法院強制執(zhí)行知識產(chǎn)權(quán)。

“At the moment it's all just saying, 'Well this is what we're doing, aren't we clever’ … Where's the second opinion? There is never a second opinion in this industry.”
目前,一切都只是在說,‘好吧,這就是我們正在做的,我們聰明嗎?’…第二種意見在哪里?這個行業(yè)從來沒有第二種觀點?!?/p>

Wilkins said Zespri had previously run into trouble when illicit plantings of Hort16A, another gold variety, appeared in China in the early 2000s.
“History teaches that when you deal with totalitarian states, you need to be careful.”
威爾金斯說,當2000年代初另一種黃金品種Hort16A在中國出現(xiàn)非法種植時,Zespri曾遇到過麻煩。
“歷史告訴我們,當你與極權(quán)國家打交道時,你需要小心。”

Seeka chief executive Michael Franks said he doubted Zespri would have success enforcing its plant variety rights in China.
Seeka(新西蘭一家水果采后分裝公司)首席執(zhí)行官邁克爾·弗蘭克斯(Michael Franks)表示,他懷疑Zespri能否在中國成功實施其植物品種權(quán)。

Michael Franks, chief executive of fruit grower and supplier Seeka, said Zespri had not yet made clear its plan, and it would struggle to enforce its plant variety rights (PVR) in China.
水果種植者和供應(yīng)商Seeka的首席執(zhí)行官邁克爾·弗蘭克斯(Michael Franks)表示,Zespri尚未明確其計劃,它將努力在中國強制執(zhí)行其植物品種權(quán)(PVR)。

“The land that the G3 is grafted onto is owned by the provincial governments ... What's the motivation for them to give PVR protection when they've probably facilitated its expansion?” Franks said.
“G3被移植到的土地歸省政府所有……當他們可能已經(jīng)促進了PVR的擴張時,他們提供PVR保護的動機是什么?”弗蘭克斯說。

Franks said the success of SunGold relied on its post-harvest intellectual property, including the colour and temperature management.
Franks說陽光金果的成功依賴于其收獲后的專有技術(shù),包括顏色和溫度、儲存方面的管理。

“There might be an angle for Zespri in that, but honestly, we don't know much about it … I just don't truly think that's possible.
“佳沛的管理層可能從這個角度出發(fā),但老實說,我不認為這是可能的抑制仿冒品。

“The [counterfeit] fruit's going to look like Zespri, it's going to be in a box that's remarkably like Zespri, and so, it's not ideal and it will be sold at a fraction [of the cost].”
“這些(假冒)水果看起來像佳沛金果,裝在一個非常像佳沛公司的盒子里,但是,這些仿品的質(zhì)量卻不怎么樣,它將以比佳沛成本還低價格出售?!?/p>

He said Seeka had its own estimates of the counterfeit fruit’s potential damage to New Zealand growers’ returns, and it was “not a complete train wreck”.
他說,Seeka對假冒水果對新西蘭種植者的回報可能造成的損害有自己的估計,而且“這不是一次徹底的火車失事”。
