 This estimate covers the period 1 January to 31 December 1980 . It has "been
prepared in the light of information available to the Commission and 011 the
basis of ^forecasts                                 . It is derived from estimates
 of demand in the industry and of Community supplies of meat of qualities and
types of out suitable for industrial use , hereinafter referred to as "meat
 for processing".
Demand in the industry foy 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 1979 » Community supplies of home–produced fresh meat for processing
for 1980 can be estimated at 879»o°° tonnes of meat on the bone , which
includes cows slaughtered in accordance with Council Regulation ( EEC )
Ho lo78/77^ as last amended by Regulation (EEC) Ho 127o/79
It is also estimated that at the end of 1979 "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 esti­
mated at 67,000 tonnes of meat on the bone .
At the end of 1979 'there will be a stock of meat held in private storage under
Commission Regulations (EEC) Nos 1198/79^*^ and 2o6l/79^\ which provide for
the granting of private storage aid for beef .
           «
The quantity of this meat satisfying ■ the requirements for processing is
estimated at 4°i°°° tonnes of meat on the bone .
With effect from January 1980 the Community A          open a tariff quota for
50 , 000 tonnes of ^ 0 n aJ frozen meat^ which corresponds to 65 , 000 tonnes of
meat on the bone ."                               •        "

 In 1979 the quantity of meat to "be imported into the Community and originating
 from Botswana , Kenya , Madagascar or Swaziland which satisfies the requirements
 for processing afber taking into account the possible increase in "beef imported
 from these countries , is estimated at 12 , 9°° tonnes of meat on the tone .
For 19oo the total available supplies will thus be as follows :           /

         Industrial demand for meat* for processing
According to information supplied to the Commission "by the Member States in
September 1979 » Community demand for meat for processing in 1980 can be
estimated at l.o9o,8oo tonnes of meat on the bone . This figure includes
quantities required for the preparation of preserved foods as specified
in Article 14 ( l)(a) of Regulation ( EEC)' HO 805/68 . This latter quantity
is estimated at 112 , 000 tonnes .
 ---pagebreak---                                   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 l.o9o,8oo tonnes of meat
 on the hone .
 The tonnage of the supplies available from the total of home production in
 1980 , plus stocks in . store at the end of 1979 suitable for processing and
 imports under the different special arrangement s suitable for processing has
"been estimated at 1 t O 3O ,8 OO tonnes of .meat on the "bone .
 The deficit in meat for processing in 1980 can "be estimated at 60,000 tonnes
 of meat on the hone .
 In light of the experience gained in 1979 i"t is proposed to apportion this
tonnage , as required "by Article 14 ( l ) of Regulation ( EEC ) no 805/68 , so
that :
a) 30,000 tonnes . of meat intended for the manufacture of preserved food
    which does not contain characteristic components other than "beef and
    jelly shall cpialify for the total' suspension of the levy, and
b ) 3o, ooo tonnes of meat intended for the processing industry for the
    manufacture of products other than the preserved food referred to in
    ( a) shall qualify for the total or partial suspension of the levy.
