EU - The 90,000 tonnes of pig meat products which were accepted into the EU Commission’s Private Storage Aid (PSA) scheme in January will soon start to be released.Around two-thirds of the total volume was stored for the minimum three months. Most of this will be released back onto the market in the three weeks commencing 17 April. The remaining product, which was stored for four or five months, will be released later in May or during June.EU pig prices have started to show signs of upward movement as demand picks up in the run up to Easter. However, there must be some concern that the extra supplies released from storage will curtail this trend.

　　欧盟委员会一月私有存储支援准备存放的90000吨猪肉将很快开始投放。大约有三分之二的存贮猪肉至少储存了3个月。大部分猪肉将从4月17日开始在三周内归到市场。剩下的猪肉产品会储存四到五个月，将在五月或者六月投放到市场。因为正值重活节的时候，需求量上升，欧盟猪价已经开始有上涨的迹象。然而，必须考虑有一些额外的供赠遏制这一趋势，譬如释放私有存储猪肉。
