                                  Introduction
This estimate oovers the period 1 January to 31 December 1975 *      This has
"been prepared in the ligfrt of information available to the Commission and
 on the "bar is of forecasts that can fce made at present . It is derived from
 estimates of demand in the industry and of Comcaittity supplies of meat of
 qualities and types of out suitable for industrial use, hereinafter referred
 to as Hmeat for prooessin^".
Demand in the industry for meat , for processing has "been assessed "by
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 meat normally used for this
purpose .
                                 Chapter I
                    Industrial demand for moat for processing
According to information supplied to the Commission by the Member States
 in . October 1974 » Community demand for meat for processing in 1975 °an be
 estimated at 1 025 600 metric tons of meat on the bone . This, figure
 includes quantities required for the preparation of preserved foods
 as specified in Article 14 ( 2 ) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 .
The latter quantities , estimated at 98 000 metric tons , can be covered ,
 under normal market conditions , by imports, of frozen meat from third
 countries not subject to levy pursuant to Article 14 ( 3 ) (a ) of Regulation
 (EEC ) No 805/68 .
 However , it should be noted that this particular arrangement has been
 suspended since 2 May 1974 by Coaffllaoion Regulation (EEC) Ko 1063/74^^
 of 30 &p"©£.l 1974            . suspending the special import arrangements
 for frozen meat intended for the manufacture of pertain preserved
 foods .
 Community demand for meat- for processing other than that required for
 the preparation of preserved foods mentioned above are thus estimated
 for 1975 at 1 025 600 - 93 000 = 927 . 600 metric tons .

                       Supplies of meat for processing
 According to information supplied, to the Commission by the Member
 States in October 1974 » Community supplies of home-produced fresh
 meat for processing for 1975           be estimated at 784 430 metric tons
 of meat on the bone .
 It is also estimated that at the end of 1974 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 168 750 metric tons of meat on the bone .
With effect from January 1975 "the Community will open a tariff quota
 for 38 500 metric tons of boneless frozen meat , which corresponds to
 50 000 metric tons of meat on the bone .
Experience shows that tinder this quota 21 170 metric tons of frozen
 meat on the bone will' be imported in 1975 f°r processing .
 For 1975 » the tot'al available supplies will thus be as follows :
Fresh meat      ,           .                  ....784 430 metric tons
Frozen meat for processing taken                                          .

 Total                                             974 350 metric tons
 This calculation takes no account of the quantities of meat held in private
 storage at the end of 1974 under                     Regulation (lEO) Uo 2778/74^

 ---pagebreak---                                    Conclusion
    Suppliea of home-produoed meat for . processing , either from production
in 1975f or from intervention stocks held at "the end of 1974»'ter7& teen
estimated at 953 180 metric tons (974 350 - 21 170 ) •
The needs of the processing industries , excluding those producing pre­
served foods referred to in Article 1 ( c ) and containing no characteristic
components other than "beef and' jelly , have been estimated at 926 600
metric tons .
Consequently , supplies of home-produced meat will exceed demand by
25 580 metric tons .
It should be noted that the imports o^ifrozen meat for processing imported
under the GATT quota for 1975 and estimated at 21 170 metric . tons will
constitute additional supplies for the processing industries .
The needs of industries producing preserved foods referred to in Ar­
ticle 14 ( 2 ) of Regulation (EEC ) No 805/68 , estimated at 98 000 metric
tons of meat on the bone , can be met out of the surplus of meat for
processing, estimated at 46 750 ttsirio tons ( 25 5&3 + 21 17^), end.
from the quantities held ia private storage at the end cf 1974 consequent
upon the graatittg of ComiKcmity aid at a            vate fixed in advance for
the oreation of these stocks .
The deficit of meat for processing for 1975 can therefore be r:
estimated at^zero metric tons .
