*****COUNCIL  ESTIMATE  of 21 February 1984  concerning beef and veal intended for the processing industry for the period 1 January to 31 December 1984  (84/101/EEC)  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by the 1979 Act of Accession, and in particular Article 14 (2) thereof,  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,  HAS ADOPTED THIS ESTIMATE:  INTRODUCTION  This estimate covers the period 1 January to 31 December 1984. It has been prepared in the light of information available to the Commission and on the basis of current forecasts. It is derived from estimates of demand in the industry and of Community supplies of meat of qualities and types of cut suitable for industrial use, hereinafter referred to as 'meat for processing'.  Demand in the industry for meat for processing has been assessed by the reference to the quantities of fresh and frozen meat used each year.  Community supplies of meat for processing have been estimated by reference to the quantities of fresh and frozen meat normally used for this purpose.  CHAPTER I  Supplies of meat for processing  According to information supplied to the Commission by the Member States in September 1983, Community supplies of home-produced fresh meat for processing for 1984 can be estimated at 1 044 000 tonnes of meat on the bone.  It is also estimated that at the end of 1983 the Community will hold a public stock of meat as a result of standing intervention purchases. The quantity of this meat satisfying the requirements of meat for processing can be estimated at 136 000 tonnes of meat on the bone.  With effect from 1 January 1984 the Community is to open a tariff quota for 50 000 tonnes of boned frozen meat, which corresponds to 65 000 tonnes of meat on the bone.  Experience shows that under this quota 7 000 tonnes of frozen meat on the bone will be imported in 1984 for processing.  In 1984 the quantity of meat to be imported into the Community and originating from Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar or Swaziland which satisfies the requirements for processing may be estimated at 6 000 tonnes of meat on the bone.  For 1984 the total available supplies intended for processing will thus be as follows:  1.2 //   // (tonnes)  // - fresh meat:  // 1 044 000  // - frozen meat taken over at intervention:  // 136 000  // - frozen meat imported under GATT quota:  // 7 000  // - frozen meat imported under arrangements of the ACP Convention:  // 6 000 1 193 000  CHAPTER II  Industrial demand for meat for processing  According to information supplied to the Commission by the Member States in September 1983, Community demand for meat for processing in 1984 can be estimated at 1 124 000 tonnes of meat on the bone. This figure includes quantities required for the preparation of preserved foods as specified in Article 14 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68. This latter quantity is estimated at 126 000 tonnes.  CONCLUSION  The needs of the processing industries, including those producing preserved foods referred to in Chapter II and containing no characteristic components other than beef and jelly, have been estimated at 1 124 000 tonnes of meat on the bone.  The tonnage of the supplies available from the total of Community production in 1984, plus stocks in store at the end of 1983 suitable for processing and imports under the different special arrangements suitable for processing has been estimated at 1 193 000 tonnes of meat on the bone.  The deficit in meat for processing for 1984 may be estimated and rounded up at 50 000 tonnes of meat on the bone.  It has been decided to apportion this tonnage, as required by Article 14 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, so that:  (a) 25 000 tonnes of meat intended for the manufacture of preserved food which does not contain characteristic components other than beef and jelly shall qualify for the total suspension of the levy,  and  (b) 25 000 tonnes of meat intended for the processing industry for the manufacture of products other than the preserved foods referred to in (a) shall qualify for the total or partial suspension of the levy.
