- 3 - 14 years would be included in the reduction, if only a ration rate of 20 to 25 g. The fact that this amount of fat would be intolerable does not need to be further justified. III.Meat. 1) Maintaining the current ration rates. With the help of the cut-off measures introduced in the Protectorate, there is a mathematical surplus of 4 000 tonnes in the slaughter livestock sector. 2) Introduction of the ration rates of the rest of the Reich. If, from 26 October 1942, the increased ration rates of the rest of the Reich area are also introduced in the Protectorate for all persons entitled to care, there is a mismatch of 5 300 t. This shortfall corresponds to about 30 000 pieces of cattle. According to the letter of the Imperial Marshal, the up-to-date import of cattle and meat is to be eliminated in the 4th year of the war. The real import (Slovakia and Hungary) in the third year of the war amounted to about 4 000 tonnes of meat. It must be sufficient to maintain the import of cattle and meat from the country to the present extent, since the mentioned shortfall would otherwise have to be covered by further intervention in the livestock of the protectorate. Whereas the delivery of the required slaughter livestock quotas already means a considerable intervention in the local livestock population; (3) restriction of the introduction of the ration quotas; whereas, in the event of a restriction on the increased ration rates to German and the recipients of the fat allowance card 25, the accounting surplus referred to in point 1 shall be reduced from 4 500 tonnes to 2 532 tonnes; In this case, imports from abroad could therefore be waived, even if a break-off of supply relations, in particular from Slovakia, is generally rare.
