Introduction
This estimate covers theperiod from 1January to31December 1974 *Itis
derived from estimates ofdemand intheindustry andofCommunity supplies
ofmeat ofqualities andtypes ofcutsuitable forindustrial use ,hereinafter
referred toas"meat forprocessing ".
Demand intheindustry formeat forprocessing hasbeen assessed byreference
tothequalities offresh andfrozen meat used each year .
Community supplies ofmoat forprocessing have been estimated byreference
tothequantities offresh meat normally used forthis purpose .
•Chapter I
Industrial demand formeat for processing
According toinformation supplied totheCommission bytheMember States in
October 1973 Community demand formeat forprocessing in1974 canbeestimated
at1.003.100 metric tons ofmeat onthebone .This figure includes quantities
required forthepreparation ofpreserved foods asspecified inArticle 14(2)
ofRegulation (EEC)No805/68. "
Thelatter quantities ,estimated at106.940 metric tons ,canbecovered entirely
byimports offrozen meat from third countries notsubject tolevy pursuant to
Article 14(3)(a)ofRegulation (S3C)No865/68.
Community demand formeat forprocessing other than that required forthe .
preparation ofpreserved foods mentioned above arethus estimated ,for1974
at1.003.100 -106.940 =896.I6O metric tons . . ,

Chapter II
Supplies ofmoat for processing
According toinformation supplied to .theCommission "bytheMember States in
October 1973' Community supplies offresh meat forprocessing for1974j both
home produced andimported from third countries tinder terms other than the
special terms provided forinArticle 14(l)ofRegulation (SSC)Ho805/68,
canbeestimated at673*370 metric tons ofmeat onthebone .
Itisalso estimated that attheendof1973 theCommunity will hold stocks
offrozen meat asaresult ofstanding intervention arrangement s;thequantity
offrozen meat meeting therequirements ofmeat forprocessing will beof
10.500 metric tons .
With effect from January 1974 "theCommunity will open atariff quota for
22.000 metric tons offrozen meat ,expressed asboneless meat ,bound within
GATT ,andanautonomous quota of12.000 metric tons ,expressed asboneless
meat ,under thetrade agreement between theEuropean Economic Community and
theRe^.blic ofArgentina .Theimport terms applied totheautonomous quota
will bethesame asthose applied tothequota bound within GATT .
Experience andinformation supplied byMember States andbythenowMember
States showed that under these twoquotas 7.375 metric tons offrozen meat
onthebone will beimported forprocessing .
For1974 "thetotal available supplies will thus beasfollows :
Presh meat d75«370 metric tons
Frozen meat forprocessing
taken over atintervention :10.500 metric tons
Frozen meat imported for
processing under theGATT
quota and the additional
quota
Total7.575metric tons
693.445 metric tons

•CoîTcirsion
Deducting from theneeds oftheprocessing -industries .,estimated at1.003.100
metric tons ,theestimated demand of106 .940metric tons inthepreserved
food industries ,which ,pursuant toArticle 14(3)(a)ofRegulation (SEC)
No80p/63arecovered byimports offrozen meat notsubject tolevy ,net
demand will be896.160 metric tons for1974 »
Total supplies ofmeat forprocessing canbeestimated at693.445 metric tons ;
thedeficit ofsuch meat tobecovered during 1974 byimports offrozen moat
isthus 202.713 metric tons ,rounded offto200.000 metric tons ,ofmeat on
the bone .
