FACTS ASSERTED BY THE COMPLAINANT AND NOT CONTESTED BY THE RESPONDENT<\/p>\n

The Complainant is the fifth-largest dairy company in the world and is a cooperative owned by more than 12,500 dairy farmers. It was constituted in 2000, when the largest Danish dairy cooperative MD Foods merged with its Swedish counterpart Arla ekonomisk Förening. The Complainant sells milk-based products under the ARLA and other brands.<\/p>\n

The Complainant employs around 21,895 full time employees and achieved a global revenue of EUR 13,8 billion for the year 2024. It enjoys a strong presence globally, including in Vietnam.<\/p>\n
