Day 068 - 16 Dec 94 - Page 40
1 out for you ----
2 A. May I have the privilege of seeing that?
3
4 MR. MORRIS: You can. I was going to save time by reading it.
5
6 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Let him look at it, then he will feel more
7 confident. Have you got the reference?
8
9 MR. MORRIS: I do not know which one it is in. Rainforest.
10
11 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I think Mr. Cesca appears in more places then
12 one.
13
14 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, it is yellow XI, number 1 in yellow XI.
15
16 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Have you got that?
17 A. What number?
18
19 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yellow XI.
20
21 MR. MORRIS: Bottom of page 6, top of page 7. I do not know
22 what tab it is.
23
24 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Tab 1.
25
26 MR. MORRIS: Bottom of page 6, called Fresh Frozen Deboned Meat?
27 A. Yes, I have got it.
28
29 Q. It says here: "Given the problems with fresh meat, the
30 deboned meat will most likely be frozen. Consequently,
31 whole cuts of frozen, deboned beef make up the great
32 majority of imported beef." That is in general in the
33 country, as far as I understand it.
34 A. If you give me time to look back at what -- where is he
35 referring to?
36
37 MR. MORRIS: You can take my word for it that he is not saying
38 they are not using imported beef; he is saying that this is
39 the general problem of the McDonald's Corporation trying to
40 avoid imported beef.
41
42 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What I suggest is, read the whole of C, over
43 the page, down until you come to paragraph 12.
44
45 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, might I suggest that it actually makes
46 more sense if one starts on page B on page 5?
47
48 MR. MORRIS: To be honest, I do not necessarily want the witness
49 to read the entire statement of Mr. Cesca. I want to him
50 recognise just in that paragraph on page 6, point C, that
51 Ray Cesca is saying: "Less than 15 per cent of the total
52 amount meat used by McDonald's approved US meat suppliers
53 as a whole in the production of McDonald's beef patties is
54 frozen." I want to know how Mr. Cesca has a different
55 opinion from the witness.
56
57 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Can you answer that question, first of all?
58 A. I have not seen -- I do not remember seeing this paper.
59
60 MR. MORRIS: So how can Mr. Cesca ----
