| 1 Intervention beef is sold by cut and different cuts have different sale prices. The sale prices shown are therefore average sales prices for all the cuts concerned. The work involved in establishing the individual sale prices for each of the cuts sold for each sale could be provided only at disproportionate cost. | ||||
| 2 The world beef market is fragmented and prices vary considerably according to the export zone and/or country concerned. Consequently, there is not a recognized and established world market price for beef. | ||||
| 3 The sale prices shown are average sale prices. The work involved in establishing the individual price for each sale could be provided only at disproportionate cost. | ||||
| 4 The work involved in establishing the world market price at the time of sale could be provided only at disproportionate cost. | ||||
