kilograms or  less and Intended for fattening of the period  1 January 
to 31 December  1991 ; 

an estimate concerning  beef and veal  Intended for the processing

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

The  first  daft  estimated  supply  balance  fixes  the Community's  import 
requirements  for  young  bovine  animals  for  fattening  at  198 000 head  for 
1991. 

Community  availabilities  in meat  for  processing  in 1991  are estimated  to 
be  higher  than  the Community  industry's  requirements  for  beef  for 
processing. 

In accordance  with  the bilateral  agreements  between  the Community  and 
certain  supplier  third  countries  instituting  cooperation  in the  drawing 
up of  the estimated  supply  balances, consultations  took  place on  the 
drawing  up of  such  import  balances  for  1991. 

In view of  the Community's  interest  in maintaining  harmonious  trading 
relations  with  them,  the Commission  proposes  to fix  the estimated  supply 
balance  for meat  for  processing  at  0 tonnes  for  1991  and  to open  for 
1991,  as  an autonomous  measure,  a  tariff  quota  not  subject  to any  levy of 
11  430  tonnes of  high  quality  beef  from  livestock  reared  mainly  on  grass 
at  a customs  duty  of 20%.

MEMORANDUM 

ON THE ESTIMATE  FOR YOUNG MALE BOVINE ANIMALS  INTENDED FOR  FATTENING 

In accordance with  the commitments  entered  Into under  the Multilateral 
Trade Negotiations  (MTN) and  the EEC-Yugoslavia Cooperation Agreement, 
the Commission  invited Poland, Hungary, Yugoslavia  and Romania  to take 
part  In bilateral  discussions on  the  1991 estimate  for  young male  bovine 
animals  Intended  for  fattening. 

- 5 -

1. 

BomanijEL 

The  Romanian  authorities gave  full  details of  the  economic 
difficulties  facing  their  country. 

They  explained  that,  In view of  the extreme  drought  this year,  they 
would  be  able  to export  5 000 head of  young  bovine  animals per 
month. 

2. 

Hungary 

The Hungarian  authorities expressed  a preference  to maintain  the 
total  quantity  at  the same  level  as  In 1990,  i.e.  198 000  head. 

They  requested  a quota of  50 000 head  reserved  fro  Hungary. 

3. 

Poland 

The  Polish  authorities  emphasized  the  importance,  both  In monetary 
and  political  terms, of  the production  of  young  bovine  animals  for 
private  producers  In Poland. 

They  requested  that  the overall  quantity  for  1991  be maintained  at 
the  1990  level.  They  also  requested  a quota  exclusively  for  Poland. 

4. 

YuqosI ay I a 

The Yugoslav  authorities  complained  bitterly  about  the  drastic  fall 
In their  exports  during  1990  In the  face of  competition  from  other 
East  European  countries. 

They  said  their  exports  had  fallen  back  considerably  reaching  only 
10 000 head  as against  the  46 000 achieved  in 1989.  They  wanted  to 
export  around  30 000 head  In 1991  and  requested  that  a special  quota 
be  reserved  for  them.

A 

Proposal  for  an 

estimate concerning  young male  bovine  animals 
weighing  300 kilograms or  less and  Intended  for  fattening 
for  the period  1 January  to 31 December  1991 

THE COUNCIL  OF  THE  EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES, 

Having  regard  to Council  Regulation  (EEC) No 805/68 of  27 June  1968 on 
the common  organization of  the market  in beef  and  v e a l d ),  as  last 
amended  by Regulation  (EEC) No 571/89(2),  and  In particular  Article  13 
thereof, 

Having  regard  to the proposal  from  the  Commission, 

HAS ADOPTED  THIS  ESTIMATE: 

Introduction 

Article  13(2) of  Regulation  (EEC) No 805/68 provides  that  the Council 
shall, each  year  before  1 December,  draw up on  a proposal  from  the 
Commission  and  by  qualified majority  vote, an estimate of  the young  male 
bovine animals which may  be  imported  under  the system  laid  down  under  the 
said  Article.  This estimate  is to  take account  both of  the  forecast 
supplies of  young  bovine  animals  intended  for  fattening  within  the 
Community  and of  Community  livestock  farmers' requirements. 

In order  to establish  the volume of  Imports  to be carried  out  under  this 
estimate  as  from  1981,  in accordance  with  the Community's  undertaking 
within  the General  Agreement  on Tariffs and Trade  (GATT),  consultations 
are  held  between  the Commission  and  representatives of  some  non-member 
countries  before  the annual  draft  estimate  Is put  forward. 

ti\  ni Nr> L  148.  28.6.1968. D.  24. 

- 7 -

Before drawing up this estimate  the Commission  has held consultations 
with  representatives of  the following non-member  countries: Hungary, 
Poland, Romania and Yugoslavia. 

These consultations  include an exchange of  views on  the beef  and veal 
market  as a whole, the production and consumption prospects within the 
Community  and on  the scope  for exports of young male bovine animals by 
non-member  count r ies. 

This estimate relates  to the period  1 January  to 31 December  1991.  It 
has been prepared  in the  light of  information available  to the  Commission 
and on  the basis of  the foreseeable  trend  for  1991 of supplies of and 
requirements  for young male bovine animals  intended  for  fattening  in the 
community;  Account  may  also be taken of  the particular  situation  in the 
non-member  country  concerned whilst  ensuring  that  the number  of  head  to 
be  Imported  at  the full  rate of  levy  in 1991  is  limited  to the 
traditional  level  (average of  the  last  three years for which  figures are 
available).  The Commission  has  introduced  a system  to monitor  these 
imports. 

1.  Assessment  of Community  supplies for  1991 

In view of  the number  of breeding  females  (cows and  heifers) 
anticipated  for  1991  (about  37 050 000), some 29 881  000 births of 
calves are expected  during  that  year.  Production over  the year of 
male calves would  therefore be about  14 925 000 head  in 1991. 

2. 

Estimated Community  requirements  for  1991 

2.1  The number  of slaughterings of male calves envisaged  for 1991, 

on  the basis of data collected  from Member  States, should  be 
about  3 900 000 head. 

2.2  The number  of male animals  intended  for slaughter  as fattened 

steers and young bulls or bulls for breeding  should  be about 
11  100 000 head. 

2.3  In the  light of  information  provided  by Member  States and of 

the above,  it  is expected  that  in 1991  the requirements of 
Community  livestock  farmers as regards young male  bovine 
animals  for  fattening will  be 11  100 000 head. 

2.4  From  the considerations set out  in 2.1  and  2.3  it follows that 
the Community's  overall  requirements  in male calves will  be 
15 000 000 head  in 1991. 

These  requirements will  only  be partly  satisfied  by  Community 
supplies of  these animals which, as shown  in point  1, amount  to 
about  14 925 000 head. 

-  8 -

Conclusion 

The estimated  Community  shortfall, on  the basis of  the abovementioned 
figures, of 75 000 head  is a figure resulting  from, among other  things, 
the recent  increase  in veal  imports  for which  the  full  levy  is paid. 
However, taking account  of  the average  level of  imports over  the  last 
three years  for which  figures are available, a  level  which  is expected  by 
the Commission  for  1991  and which  should  reduce  in 1991  the veal  imports 
at  the full  levy, the estimate  for  1991  is fixed at  198 000 head.

MEMORANDUM 

ON THE  ESTIMATE  FOR  FROZEN MEAT  INTENDED  FOR  PROCESSING 

In accordance with  the commitments  entered  Into under  the Multilateral 
Trade Negotiations  (MTN),  the Commission  has held  consultations with 
Australia, New  Zealand, Argentina, Uruguay, Hungary, Poland  and  Romania 
on  the  1990 estimate  for  frozen beef  and  veal  Intended  for  processing. 

Responses of  the countries  concerned: 

ARGENTINA 

The Argentinian authorities said  that, generally  speaking,  they  accepted 
the estimates, but would  prefer  converting  the  total  quantity of  50 000 
tonnes of meat  for  processing  to high  quality meat.  In their  opinion  the 
conversion coefficient  should  be 4. 

NEW  ZEALAND 

The New  Zealand  authorities  repeated  their  well-known  position  with 
regard  to  the  total  quantities  in the estimate.  They  considered  that, 
rather  than 50 000  tonnes,  Imports of  the meat  for  processing  should  be 
60 000 tonnes  In  line with  the undertakings made under  GATT.  They  would, 
furthermore, prefer  converting  the  total  60 000 tonnes  to high  quality 
meat. 

AUSTRALIA 

The Australian  authorities  also  restated  their  position  regarding  the 
Community  commitment  to 60 000 tonnes under  GATT. 

They  would  prefer  converting  the  total  of  60 000 tonnes  to high  quality 
meat.  Quantities of  Hilton beef  should  therefore  be between  12 000 and 
14 000 tonnes. 

If the Commission  kept  to  its position  in favour  of  the maintenance  of a 
certain  quantity of meat  for  processing,  the conversion  coefficient 
should  be  that  used  in 1987,  i.e. 4.16. 

UEUÛUAÏ 

The  Uruguayan  authorities were also  In favour  of  converting  the  total 
amount  of meat  for  processing  to high  quality  meat.  This would  produce a 
total  of more  than  12 000  tonnes of  Hilton beef  If a  conversion 
coefficient  of  4 were  used. 

They  also  recalled  the existing  clause  in the GATT  agreement  permitting 
Uruguay  to use  quantities not  used  by other  beneficiaries. 

HUNGARY-POLAND-ROMAN IA 

These  three countries  have not  expressed  any  intention  to export  meat  for 
processing  to  the  Community.

Proposal  for a 

Council  estimate  concerning  beef  and  veal  Intended  for  the 
processing  Industry  for  the period  1 January  to 31  December  1991 

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 Regulation  (EEC) No 571/89(2),  and  In particular  Article 
14(2) thereof, 

Having  regard  to the proposal  from  the  Commission, 

HAS ADOPTED  THIS  ESTIMATE: 

Introduction 

Article  14(2) of  Regulation  (EEC) No 805/68 provides  that  each  year 
before  1 December,  the Council, acting by  a qualified majority,  shall 
draw up an estimate of  the meat  which  may  be  imported  under  the 
arrangements  laid down  In that  Article.  This estimate  shall  take 
account, on  the one  hand, of  the expected  Community  supplies of meat  of a 
quality  and  type of  cut  suitable  for  industrial  use and, on  the other, of 
industrial  need. 

This estimate  shall  mention  separately  the quantities: 

(a)  Intended  for  the manufacture  of preserved  food which  does not 

contain  characteristic components  other  than beef  and  Jelly; 

(b)  intended  for  the processing  industry  for  the manufacture  of  products 

other  than  the preserved  food  referred  to  in (a). 

The  annual  presentation  of  the draft  estimate  is preceded  by 
consultations between  the Commission  and  certain  non-member  countries. 
The  purpose  of  these meetings  Is to review  the whole  situation  of  the 
beef market  in the EC and  the non-member  countries  as well  as  current 
forecasts of  production  and  consumption,  in order  to make  a  Joint 
analysis of  the  factors which  would  help  In drawing  up estimates of 
Community  needs as  regards  frozen beef  for  processing  and  to  exchange 
Information  concerning  the potential  export  market. 

Consultations have  been undertaken  by  the Commission  with  representatives 
of  the  following  countries: Argentina, Uruguay,  Australia, New  Zealand, 
Hungary,  Poland  and  Romania.

CHAPTER I 

Supplies of meat  for  processing 

According  to  Information  supplied  to the Commission  by  the Member  States 
in August  1989 Community  supplies of  home-produced  fresh meat  for 
processing  for  1990 can be estimated  at  1 380 000  tonnes of meat  on  the 
bone. 

It  is also estimated  that  at  the end of  1990 the Community  held  a  large 
public stock of meat  as a result  of  Intervention buying.  The quantity of 
this meat  satisfying  the  requirements of meat  for  processing  can  be 
estimated  at  250 000 tonnes of meat  on  the bone. 

At  the end of  1990 there were  no stocks of  beef  held  in cold  stores as a 
result  of  the granting of  private storage  aid. 

With  effect  from  1 January  1991  the Community  intends  to open  a  tariff 
quota  for  53 000 tonnes of  boned  frozen meat, which  corresponds  to 
68 >900  tonnes of meat  on  the bone. 

Past  experience  Indicates  that, under  this quota,  14 000  tonnes of  frozen 
meat  on  the bone will  be  Imported  for  processing  In 1991. 

In 1991  the quantity  of meat  originating  In Botswana, Kenya,  Madagascar, 
Zimbabwe  and  Swaziland  to be  Imported  Into the Community  and  which 
satisfies  the  requirements  for  processing  may  be estimated  at  5  000 
tonnes of meat  on  the bone. 

For  1991  the  total  available  supplies  intended  for processing  will  thus 
be as  fol lows: 

(tonnes) 

-  fresh meat: 
-  frozen meat  bought  into  Intervention 
-  frozen meat  stored  under  the system  of 

private  storage  aid: 

-  frozen meat  imported  under  the GATT  quota: 
-  frozen meat  imported  under  ACP

CHAPTER  11 

Industrial  demand  for meat  for  processing 

According  to  Information  supplied  to the Commission  by  the Member  States 
in August  1990, Community  demand  for meat  for  processing  In 1991  can  be 
estimated  at  1 461  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  215 000 tonnes. 

-  12 -

Conclusion 

From  the above, Community  supplies of meat  for processing will  exceed 
industry  requirements  in 1991.  The estimate of beef  and  veal  intended 
for  the processing  Industry  to be  Imported  In 1991 under  the  arrangements 
laid down  In Article  14 of Regulation  (EEC) No 805/68 shall  be  fixed  at  0 
tonnes.

particular  be ensured; whereas, to this end, a system  for utilizing  the 
Community  tariff  quota, based on  the presentation of  a certificate of 
authenticity guaranteeing  the type, provenance  and origin of  the products 
is required; 

Whereas  rules for  the application of  these provisions  should  be adopted 
in accordance with  the procedure  laid down  in Article 27 of Council 
Regulation  (EEC) No 805/68 of  27 June  1968 on  the common organization of
