Beef in Europe comes from all over the EU. What happens is that in the poorer countries with more lax inspection regimes (like Poland and Spain), some criminal scumbag realizes that he can sell horse meat as beef and nobody will bother to check. Since horse meat is a lot cheaper than beef, he can make himself a few extra euros by adding a few tonnes of horse meat into the multi-tonne shipment of "beef".
