tries involved inorder toexamine appropriate measures torectify the ,
situation .These measures would however take effect too late ,after the .

pend bsavily upon beef exports ,theusewhich hasbeed made ofthereduc­
tion granted toallow ,through thegranting ofstability forexports a
certain level ofproducer revenues toberealised ,aswell asthegeo­
graphic andgeo-political situation ofthecountries involved ,these
