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  1992 estimate  for  young  male  bovine  animals 
intended  for  fattening. 

1. ROMAN IA 

The  Romanian  authorities  insisted  that  they  receive  the  same  treatment 
from  the  Community  as  all  the  other  contries  concerned  by  the  GATT 
agreement. 

They  indicated  that  they  hoped  to export,  for  1992, about  100  000  head 
of  young  bovine  animals  but  asked  for  Community  aid  with  a  view  to 
improving  the  breeds  of  their  herds. 

2.  HUNGARY 

The  Hungarian  authorities  expressed  the  wish  that  the  quota  of  198  000 
head  of  young  male  bovine  animals  exported  with  a  levy  reduction  be 
maintained  for  1992  and  that  a quantity  of  60  000  head  be  reserved  for 
them. 

They  also  drew  attention  to  the  loss of  the  Soviet  Union  market  and  the 
impact  on  their  exports. 

3.  POLAND 

The  Polish  authorities  emphasized  the  need  to maintain  the  traditional 
share  of  the  Community  market  which  exports  of  young  bovine  animals  had 
had  up  to  the  present  time. 

They  expressed  their  concern  about  the  future  of  the  market  given  the 
high  production  costs  which  were  due  mainly  to  the  prolonged  stay  of 
these  animals  on  the  farm. 

They  also  asked  whether  the  minimum  weight  of  220  kilograms  for  exports 
of  young  bovine  animals  might  be  reduced  to  16%, with  the  application  of 
a  75%  levy  and  not  65% as  was  the  case  at  present.  This  measure  would 
help  to  reduce  the  production  cost  of  these  animals. 

-2 

4. YUGOSLAVIA 

The Yugoslav  authorities drew attention  to the sharp  fall  in their 
exports of young bovine animals and asked  the Commission  what  kind of 
arrangements were being made  for exports  from Hungary  and  Poland. 

As to the forecasts for exports to the Community  of young bovine animals 
for  1992, their  estimate was  15 000 head or  thereabouts.

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  1992 

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  v e a l ^ ),  as  last  amended by 
Regulation  (EEC) No  1628/91*2),  and  in particular  Article  13 thereof, 

Having  regard  to the proposal  from  the Commission, 

HAS ADOPTED  THIS  ESTIMATE 

Introduct ion 

Article  13(2) of Regulation  (EEC) No 805/68  provides  that  each  year  before 
1 December  the Council,  acting  by a qualified  majority  draw  up on a 
proposal  from  the Commission  must  draw up an estimate of  the young  male 
bovine  animals  which  may be  imported  under  the system  laid  in 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. 

(1) OJ No L  148, 28.6.1968, p. 24 
(2) OJ No L  150,  15.6.1991,  p. 16 

-s*-

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

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

This estimate  relates  to the period  1 January  to 31 December  1992.  It has 
been prepared  in the  light of  information  available to the Commission  and 
on  the basis of  the foreseeable  trend  for  1992 of supplies of and 
requirements  for young male bovine animals  intended  for  fattening  in the 
Community.  The particular  curcumstances  in the non-member  countries can 
also be taken  into account, while ensuring  that  the number  of head  to be 
imported  in 1992 will  be  limited  to the traditional  level  (average  for  the 
years  1987, 1988 and  1989)  i.e. to 425 000 head.  The Commission  introduced 
a surveillance system  to this end and will  continue to apply  the safeguard 
clause measures should  import  forecasts show  that  that  number  could be 
exceeded. 

1. Assessment  of Community  supplies for  1992 

In view of  the number  of breeding  females  (cows and  heifers) anticipated 
for  1992 (about  36 950 000), some 29 218 000 births of calves are 
expected  during  that  year.  Production over  the year of male calves 
would  therefore be about  14 600 000 head  in 1992. 

2. Estimated Community  requirements  for  1992 

2.1 

The number  of slaughterings of male calves envisaged  for  1992, on 
the basis of data collected  from Member  States, should  be about 
4 000 000 head. 

-v-

2.2 

2.3 

The number  of male animals  intended  for slaughter, steers, 
fattened  young bulls or bulls for breeding  should  be about 
10 000 000 head. 

In the  light of  information provided  by Member  States and of  the 
above,  it  is expected  that  in 1992 the requirements of  Community 
livestock  farmers as regards young male bovine animals for 
fattening will  be 10 000 000 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 
14 000 000 head  in 1992. 

These requirements will  be wholly  satisfied by Community  supplies of 
these animals which, as shown  in point  1, amount  to about  14 600 000 
head. 

9-

Cone Ius Ion 

In the  light of  the above estimates, a Community  surplus may  be expected  in 
1992.  Furthermore,  the Commission  has proposed  the  introduction  of a 
premium  for  the withdrawal  from  production of  young male  calves of  dairy 
breeds with  a view  to reducing  the number  of  young  calves  available. 

However,  in order  for  harmonious  trade  relations  to be maintained  with  the 
non-member  countries concerned,  the number  of  young  bovine  animals which 
may  be  imported  under  the estimated  supply  balance  for  1992 should  be  fixed 
at  the same  level  i.e.  198 000 head,  the overall  level  of  traditional 
imports which  the Commission  contemplates  in 1992.

MEMORANDUM 

ON  THE  ESTIMATE  FOR  FROZEN  MEAT  INTENDED  FOR  PROCESSING 

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  1992  estimate  for  young  male  bovine  animals 
intended  for  fattening. 

RESPONSE  FORM  THE  COUNTRIES  CONCERNED 

ARGENTINA 

The  Argentine  authorities  expressed  their  satisifact ion  with  the 
Commission's  proposal  as  regards  the  estimate  but  felt  that  the  coefficient 
for  conversion  to  high-quality  meat  should  be  determined  on  the  basis  of 
real  market  prices.  They  were  also  pleased  with  the  timing  of  the 
estimate's  presentation,  which  should  allow  the  Council  to  take  a  decision 
before  the  end  of  1991. 

NEW  ZEALAND 

The  New  Zealand  authorities  reiterated  their  position  concerning  the 
overall  quantities  of  the  estimate  which  should,  they  felt,  be  60  000 
tonnes,  the  quantity  corresponding  to  the  GATT  commitments,  and  not  50  000 
tonnes.  They  also  expressed  their  satisfaction  with  the  proposal  for  the 
conversion  of  the  overall  quantity  to  high-quality  meat  and  with  the  timing 
of  the  presentation  of  the  estimate,  the  adoption  of  which  would  facilitate 
the  smooth  operation  of  exports. 

AUSTRALIA 

The  Australian  authorities  also  said  they  accepted  the  estimate  as 
presented  by  the  Commission  debarments  and  were  pleased  with  the  timin  gof 
i ts  présentât ion. 

They  expressed  the  wish  to  see  the  Hilton  beef  quota  distributed  in such  a 
way  as  to  satisfy  countries  negotiating  the  GATT  arrangement  on  beef  and 
veal.  Since  they  ddd  not  wish  to  discuss  distribution  each  year,  they 
asked  the  Commission  to  start  bilateral  negotiations  in order  to  fix 
long-term  quota  allocations. 

- 2-

URUGUAY 

The  Uruguayan  authorities,  after  stressing  the  importance  of  the  meat 
sector  for  their  country's  economy,  also  expressed  their  satisfaction  with 
the  proposal  for  converting  the  total  quantity  of  meat  for  processing  to 
high-quality  meat. 

They  also  congratulated  the  Commission  on  the  prompt  presentation  of  the 
estimate  for  1992  and  insisted  on  an  increase  in  their  share  in  the  final 
distribution  of  the  quota. 

HUNGARY  -  POLAND  -  ROMANIA 

These  three  contries  did  not  express  the  wish  to  export  meat  for  processing 
to  the  Community  given  that  their  traditional  market  was  oriented  to  the 
export  of  calves  for  fattening  and  that  their  domestic  consumption 
requirements  were  substantial.

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  organisation of  the market  in beef  and  v e a l *1),  as  last  amended by 
Regulation  (EEC) No  1628/91( 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  on a proposal  from 
the  Commission,  must I draw up an estimate  of meat  which  may be  imported 
under  the arrangements  laid  down  in that  Article.  This  estimate  must  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 preserves  which  do not  contain 
characteristic  components  other  than  beef  and  jelly; 

(b) 

intended  for the processing  industry  for the manufacture  of  products 
other  than  the preserves  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 overall  situation  of  the beef  market  in the 
EC and the non-member  countries  as well  as current  forecasts of  production 
and  consumption,  so that  a  joint  analysis  can be made  of  the factors  which 
could  contribute  towards  drawing  up estimates of Community  requirements for 
frozen  beef  for processing  and so that  information  concerning  the potential 
export  market  can be  exchanged. 

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  1991, Community  supplies of  home-produced  fresh  meat  for  processing 
for  1992  can  be  estimated  at  1 323  000  tonnes  of  bone-in  meat. 

At  the  end  of  1991  the  Community  will  hold  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  500  000  tonnes  of 
bone-in  meat. 

At  the end  of  1991  no meat  will  be  held  in cold  stores  as  a  result  of  the 
granting  of  private  storage  aid. 

With  effect  from  1 January  1992  the  Community  intends  to open  a  tariff 
quota  for  53  000  tonnes of  boned  frozen  meat,  which  corresponds  to 68  900 
tonnes  bone-in  meat. 

Past  experience  indicates  that,  under  this  quota,  14 000  tonnes  of  frozen 
bone-in  meat  will  be  imported  for  processing  in 1992. 

In  1992  the  quantity  of  meat  originating  in Botswana,  Kenya,  Madagascar, 
Zimbabwe,  Swaziland  and  Namibia  to  be  imported  into  the  Community  which 
satisfies  the  requirements  for  processing  may  be  estimated  at  7 600  tonnes 
of  bone-in  meat. 

-il-

For  1992 the total  available  supplies  intended for processing  will  thus be 
as  fol lows: 

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

private storage aid: 

-  frozen meat imported under GATT quota:

CHAPTER  I I 

Industrial  demand for meat  for processing 

According to information  supplied to the Commission by the Member  States in 
August  1991, Community  demand for meat  for processing  in 1992 can be 
estimated at 1 424 000 tonnes of meat on the bone. 

This  figure  includes the quantity  required  for the preparation of preserved 
foods as referred to in Article  14(1)(a) of Regulation  (EEC) No 805/68. 
This  latter  quantity  is estimated at 218 000 tonnes. 

- < / ?-

Conclusion 

It emerges  from  the  foregoing  that  Community  availabilities  of  meat  for 
processing  will  exceed  industrial  requirements  in  1992.  The  estimate  of 
beef  and  veal  intended  for  the  processing  industry  and  which  may  be 
imported  in  1992 under  the  arrangements  provided  for  in Article  14 of 
Regulation  (EEC) No  805/86  is therefore  fixed  at  zero  tonnes.
