Volume 10: Economic Impact and International Trade
3. Impact on the private sector
Summary: effects of BSE on the private sector

3.107 While Chapter 4 attempts to ascertain where the main economic impact finally fell, Table 3.2 has been constructed as an overview of the economic implications for each of the private sector industries affected by BSE. In many instances it has not been possible to quantify the effects. In these cases we have identified the likelihood of additional costs, without giving a figure. Where we have been able to isolate an amount, many of these figures are estimates.
