Duties on beef and cattle were lowered a second time in 1972 when the EC Council in its Oc tober 31 meeting took measures to hold inflation at an annual 4- percent growth rate. Beginning November 1, duties on live cattle and beef imports were halved, and as of early March 1973, the duties had yet to be reinstated. the the EC trade data needed to assess the effect of this duty reduction on imports are not yet available. But in the United Kingdom, November exports of live cattle to the EC jumped 9 percent from the previous month to 13,000 head, and beef exports increased 8 percent to 15 million pounds. Shipments continued high in December, when beef exports to the EC totaled 12 million pounds and live cattle exports 6,800 head.

Phone 259-0448 * Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 14,1973 the United Kingdom, had a spectacular effort on U.K. prices. Fat cattle sold for 41 percent more in early January than 2 months prior. As a result, the margin between U.K. fat cattle prices and those in the EC narrowed to about 4-5 cents per pound, compared with 10-14 cents during the first 10 months of 1972. One editorial writer in a British newspaper noted that the effect of EC import policies, combined with the European beef shortage, was to raise the price of beef in the United Kingdom in 5 days by as much as the Government had expected it to rise in the 5-year EC traditional period. At the end of 1972, wholesale been prices in other European countries were also significantly above those of a year earlier. In Spain, prices were 10-20 percent higher, and in Sweden, they were up 16 percent. Danish prices for heifers and steers at the Copenhagen meat market m 1972 averaged 39 percent more than in 1971.
