    Nestlé, whose clashes with activists over sales of baby milk formula in Africa led to widespread boycotts in the 1980s, has been found liable in a civil case over the secret infiltration of a non-governmental organisation. 
    雀巢(Nestlé)在一场关于秘密潜入非政府组织的民事案件中被判负有法律责任。上世纪80年代,雀巢与维权人士围绕非洲婴儿配方奶粉营销活动发生的冲突,导致了广泛的抵制活动。 
    A Swiss court last week ordered Nestlé and the Swiss security company Securitas SA must keep AGto pay compensation following revelations that an infiltrator had attended “work group” meetings of Attac, an anti-globalisation group. Some of those meetings took place at -members’ homes. 
    一家瑞士法院上周判决,雀巢和瑞士安保公司Securitas SA必须支付赔偿,此前有消息曝光称,一名卧底参加了反全球化组织Attac的“工作小组”会议。其中几次会议在该组织成员家里举办。 
    The world’s biggest food -company has been at pains to repair relations with NGOs since the milk formula debacle, which led to new health regulations on its marketing. 
    自从婴儿配方奶粉丑闻爆发以来,全球最大食品公司一直在竭力修复与非政府组织的关系。那场丑闻导致该公司按照新的卫生法规进行营销活动。 
    The rise of social media and rapid dissemination of any wrongdoings – and a new generation of socially conscious consumers – has further encouraged Nestlé and its peers to address issues ranging from child labour to saving water. 
    社交媒体的兴起和不当行为的迅速传播,以及新一代消费者社会意识觉醒,已进一步鼓励雀巢和其他食品公司应对从童工到节水等一系列问题。 
    Such initiatives are often -carried out with NGOs. But even though Nestlé has been fostering closer ties with its one-time foes, it has now been found to have been involved in monitoring activists. 
    此类举措往往与非政府组织合作开展。但即便雀巢一直在与其曾经的对手发展更密切的关系,该公司现在被曝参与监视活动人士。 
    The long-running legal saga began in 2008 when Attac filed criminal and civil allegations against Nestlé and Securitas after Swiss TV alleged that an Attac work group in the canton of Vaud had been infiltrated by a Securitas employee on behalf of Nestlé in 2003. 
    漫长的法律诉讼始于2008年,当时Attac对雀巢和Securitas提出刑事和民事指控,原因是瑞士电视台报道称,2003年,受雀巢的委托,Securitas的一名雇员打入了Attac在沃州的工作小组。 
    The criminal case was dropped in 2009, but the civil case continued, and Jean-Luc Genillard, president of the civil court in Lausanne, has now ordered Nestlé and Securitas to pay compensation of SFr3,000 per claimant. 
    Attac在2009年放弃了刑事诉讼,但继续推进民事诉讼。洛桑民事法院院长让-吕克 吉尼拉德(Jean-Luc Genillard)现在要求雀巢和Securitas向每位原告支付3000瑞士法郎的赔偿。 
    A spokesman for Nestlé said that the company would like “to reiterate that incitement to infiltration is against Nestlé’s corporate business principles”, adding that it noted the judge’s decision “with disappointment”. 
    雀巢发言人表示,该公司希望“重申,鼓动卧底违背了雀巢的企业经营原则”,他补充称,雀巢对法官的判决“感到失望”。 
    However, he said that it was too early to say what, if any actions, Nestlé would take next. “We are unable to make any specific comments before the judge’s reasoning is released. If it turns out that a Nestlé employee has acted negligently, we will take appropriate action,” he said. 
    然而,该发言人表示,目前说雀巢下一步将采取何种行动还为时尚早。他称:“我们不能在法官的推理发布之前做任何具体置评。如果事实证明,雀巢员工工作存在疏忽,我们将采取适当行动。”
