因对英国“疯牛病”的恐惧而导致的全球肉类消费量大幅度下降的趋势,目前已经停止。世界贸易组织最近预测:1997年的肉类市场,在3年价格疲软之后,目前开始复苏。这是在日内瓦公布的世贸组织年度报告中指出的。预计,在“疯牛病”问题特别尖锐的欧盟国家,肉类消费量今年将增加2％～7.07％,而去年则减少了7％。 The sharp decline in global meat consumption caused by the fear of Britain’s “mad cow disease” has now stopped. The World Trade Organization recently predicted that the meat market in 1997 will begin to recover after three years of weak prices. This was pointed out in the WTO’s annual report published in Geneva. It is expected that in EU countries where the problem of “mad cow disease” is particularly acute, meat consumption will increase by 2% to 7.07% this year, and it will decrease by 7% last year.
