WRITTEN QUESTION E-3518/01

by Struan Stevenson (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(8 January 2002)

Subject: Export of live cattle to third countries

What amount was paid out in 2000 in the form of refunds on the export from the Community to third countries of live cattle (a) for slaughter and (b) for breeding?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(11 February 2002)

The export refunds paid in 2000 for live bovine animals amounted to 110 769 million. Unfortunately, no detail is available in the accounts on the ventilation of these payments between slaughter or breeding purposes.

However, based on the export certificates issued during the period concerned, it can be estimated that a little more than 30 % was paid out for animals exported for breeding purposes and about 70 % of the amount was paid out for animals to be slaughtered.
