In Germany, Denmark, France, Greece, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom the prices paid by the public and private slaughterhouses are ascertained by one or more quotation centres for the various regions. In Italy, Ireland and Luxembourg, prices are directly recorded in the most important selling places, while in Belgium and in Spain the quotations are established from an average between the quotations noted on the markets and in the slaughterhouses on the one hand and in the quotation centres on the other hand.
