English Translation
It should be borne in mind, however, that, in the case of cereals, there is a need to ensure that the quantities of cereals produced in the Community are used in the same way as in the other Member States. The cooperation with the specialist departments of the Reich Protector in Bohemia and Moravia was absolutely smooth during the period of the report. In several meetings it was necessary to come quickly to the clarification of controversial questions. D. Tasks for the future. In the area of the fight against trade in sheepmeat, the main task of the Special Committee on Economic Affairs remains the continuation of the struggle against the forgotten part of the grain farmers. Although the percentages of the hidden quantities of cereals found in the controlled villages - s. Appendix 3 - it should not be forgotten that the out-dated villages were those which had reported the least results for the 1941 harvest compared to their previous harvests and were therefore the most suspicious. Although the results so far obtained show that at least some of the cereal farmers are trying to extract substantial quantities from their harvest, they cannot be regarded as a generally valid standard for the whole of the protectorate. These cereal raids have covered considerable quantities of hidden fruit and have led to general consumption.
