The Commission considers that a prudent policy in this sector is dictated by the need to avert a decline in consumption, which is affected by the general economic situation and by competition from other kinds of meat.
Kommissionen mener, at det er strengt nødvendigt at føre en forsigtig politik i denne sektor for at undgå en nedgang i forbruget, der er påvirket af den generelle økonomiske situation, og af konkurrencen fra andre former for kød.
