Sort of, but consider if you paid a mega lic/concession fee to be the sole source for Fiat in UK and then Fiat started importing them through some other route,You would not like it.
The fact that most of Hershey chocolate is not great is not relevant.
protectionism is usually used at a sovereign move, this is just one company protecting it's lic.
Never tried Hershey's but I've heard enough to ensure that situation won't change anytime soon. I have tried Oreos, well one Oreo, well, a bite out of an Oreo. I'm sure Hershey's and Oreo's appeal to a hip crowd who think they're exotic and desirable (see also Krispy Kreme "donuts") but they ain't my bag, baby.

I think they are also trying to block Nestle gear which has similar packaging designs, same colour etc. That's nothing to do with having the licence to produce in that territory.You would not like it.

Nestle is Swiss, I thought this was about Brit chocs.
There is a Scottish company, Duncan's, think they're still on the go. They had a contract to supply the British Army with choccy bars until the MOD pulled the plug on the grounds of expense.
