EU - The situation on the European pig slaughter market goes on being balanced.The quotations, for the most part, remain on the level achieved. So does the leading quotation in Germany. In Denmark as well as in Belgium the prices remain unchanged as well.The drifting down of prices could also be stopped in the Netherlands, where last week’s quotation had still been corrected downward. Yet, the Netherlands are ranking last at a great distance within the pricing structure of the five EU member countries most significant in pig keeping. So, the gap between the German and Dutch corrected price levels is 12 cents, thus being extraordinarily large. As a rule, the Dutch slaughter companies are looking out for not allowing this gap to grow too large in order to prevent increased movement of pigs for slaughter into Germany.

　　欧洲猪肉屠宰市场状态将潞傍保持平衡。大部分报价保持现有水平。德国猪肉报价依然率先。丹麦和比利时的猪肉报价保持不变。上周荷兰的猪肉报价还在向下修正，现在价格也停止下跌。然而，荷兰的报价排名垫底，与欧盟主要养猪国家的价格有着硕大的差距。德国和荷兰的价格水平相差12美分，因此差距硕大。通常荷兰屠宰企业很注意这种情况，不允许差距潞傍扩大，为防止屠宰生猪流入德国的活动增多。
