     1        about 8 years ago.  We also make minced meat for hamburgers
     2        which we sell here and in our branches.  However, recently,
     3        we have become one of the largest suppliers to the
     4        fast-food chains in this country, and in particular to
     5        McDonalds.  We now sell a total of between 20 and 24 tonnes
     6        of minced meat for hamburgers per month, which is produced
     7        here in the Monticillos Cooperative.

     9        Question:  Is this part of the trade growing?"
    10
    11        and then there is: "(No answer in the transcript.  End of
    12        transcript)."
    13
    14   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    15
    16   MR. MORRIS:  If I can just say that was an interview conducted
    17        in 1982, I think it was.  It is actually mentioned in Peter
    18        Heller's statement and we are still making contact with him
    19        about whether we are going to call him or not, in the light
    20        of Mr. Monroe not coming and other issues.
    21
    22        Yes, there was a cover note, as we have said on that one.
    23        Can I say one thing, is that in the Jungle Burger film,
    24        when the question at the top of page 5 was asked:  "Which
    25        fast-food chains do you supply?" If anybody listens to the
    26        film, it seems to be the question was:  "Which fast-food
    27        chains do you supply in that way?"  I am referring to the
    28        previous paragraph, previous answer.  That is all.
    29
    30        If we move on.  If I can just do the Jan Rocha brief
    31        statement.
    32
    33   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I could not find her when I looked last
    34        night.  Does anyone have her -- can you tell me where she
    35        went?  Did she go behind -----
    36
    37   MR. MORRIS:  I do not know where it went.  Unless it got put
    38        behind Mr. Morganti.
    39
    40   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  I have.
    41
    42   MR. MORRIS:  Have you found her?
    43
    44   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, she is.  For any future reference I have
    45        her behind Mr. Morganti, who is in yellow 14, 81E.
    46
    47   MR. MORRIS:  OK.  If I read that one out.  It says:
    48
    49        "To David from Jan Rocha February 22."  That is 1996.
    50        "Conversation with Braslo manager, Jose Roberto Morganti. 
    51 
    52        Question:  Can you give me a list of all the ranches that 
    53        supply Braslo with meat for McDonald's?
    54        Answer: I can't give you a list.  I don't have it.  Only
    55        the meat packing plants have it.
    56        In 1991 I took McDonald's lawyers to visit all the meat
    57        packing plants, they got all the names of the ranches, they
    58        have them.  Morganti also said he only got his meat from
    59        five plants in Campo Grande, Araguari, Goias Bauru and
    60        Rondonopolis (Mato Grosso)", and then it is almost
