10 This measure is in conformity with the criteria contained in Paragraph 12 of Annex 2 of the WTO Agreement on Agriculture. Righ ts to such payments are granted 
within clearly defined government programs of environmental protection and depend on the fulfilment of particular conditions sp ecified by such government programs. The basis 
for calculations of expenses in the section of the State Budget of Ukraine "Protection of the En vironment" are the measures, wh ich are envisaged by the ecological programs 
approved in an established order, including the following: "Pro tection and Rational Utilisation of Lands", "Protection and Rati onal Utilisation of Water Resources", "Creation of 
Field Shelter - Belts". The creation of field shelter-belts is regulated by the Forest Code of Ukraine of 21 February 1994 No.3 852-ХІІ and the Law of Ukraine "On the Protection 
of the Environment" of 25 June 1991 No.1264-XII. Payments as to protection and rational use of soils include the funding for fu ndamental improvement of agricultural 
companies' soils.  Soils fundamental improvement funds are used to lime acid soils and gypsum medium and supersalt soils and al so individual salt parcels on salt-free soil fields.  
The state budget funds of this designation are directly allocated to agricultural companies on the basis of selection (competit ion) committees' decisions.

17 Product-specific support measures with respec t to meat and milk products are presented in Table DS6. Subsidies were paid in 19 94 for cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, and milk. Resolution 
No. 496 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of 21 July 1994"O n The Pricing of Agricultural Pr oducts and Raw Materials" was e nacted for purposes of economi c stimulation of production and 
sale for the state resources of agricultural products and raw materials, stabilization of wholesale and retail prices for meat and milk products, and in implementa tion of Decree of the President of 
Ukraine of 2 June 1994"On Urgent Measures to Provide Financing and Loans for the Form ation of State Food Resources of 1994 - 19 95" and Resolution of the Supreme Rada of Ukraine of 
17 June 1994 "On the Overcoming of the Crisis in the Agro-Industr ial Complex. It was prescribed that from 1 July 1994 VAT on sa les of agricultural producers and meat packing and milk 
processing enterprises of all forms of ownership was to be credit ed to this account and to be used within the limit of Krb 13.6  trillion for support payments for milk , cattle and poultry that are sold 
for the state resources in amounts per one ton of the product. Amounts of support payments for milk, cattle and poultry that we re sold for the state resources by agricultural producers of all forms of 
ownership since 1 July until the end of 1994 were set in thousa nds Krb per ton: milk – 1,500, cattle (in live weight) – 4,650, pigs – 4,500, sheep – 3,700, poultry – 3,500. 
18 For calculations purposes, the official ex change rate of Krb (1994-1995) and Hrv (1996) to US$, set by the National Bank of Uk raine (an annual average), was used. Data were provided 
by the Currency Regulation De partment of the National Bank of Ukraine.  Thes e data are also listed on the NBU site (www.bank.go v.ua).

19 For calculations purposes, the official ex change rate of Krb (1994-1995) and Hrv (1996) to US$, set by the National Bank of Uk raine (an annual average), was used. Data were provided 
by the Currency Regulation Depart ment of the National Bank of Ukraine. These data are also listed on the NBU site (www.bank.gov .ua). 
20 Benefits from interest-free advance payments (1). The period for which advance payments have been provided, i.e. an average nu mber of months between payment and delivery of 
products (Column 8 of Working Table 3), is 6 months. The monthly average in terest rate of commercial banks in 1994, for instanc e, was 201.7 per cent (Column 9). Advance payments are interest-
free loans that were extended to agricultural producers for a pe riod of 6 months. The amount of the extended loans in national currency is presented in Column 7. Therefore, the benefits from 
interest-free advance payments are equal to: 
Benefits (1) = (Amount of Extended Loans х (( Commercial Interest Rate / 12) х 6) / 100) 
21 Benefits from using advances that are not reimbursed to the State on time (2). Agricultural producers in every one of the year s of the base period did not reimburse on time advances for 
purchases of products under the state order or  state contracts. Therefore, the amount of  the advances that have not been reimbu rsed on time is considered to be  an interest-free loan. Amounts of 
advances made with the help of budgetary loans that have not been reimbursed on time are calculated on the basis of the data of  consolidated annual accounting re ports of agricultural producers. 
According to our estimates, the average period of such  benefits is 12 (Column 6 of Working Table 4).  
Benefits (2) = (Amount of Adva nces that have no t been reimbursed to the State on time х ((Commercial Interest Rate / 12) х 12) / 100

Data were provided by the Currency Regulation Department of the National Bank of Ukraine. These data are also listed on the NBU  site (www.bank.gov.ua). 
23 The measure "Preferential Prices for Electri city used for Production Purposes in Agriculture"(p. 1) reflects the amount of ben efits for agricultural producers from 
lower rates for electrical power used by them for production purposes in 1994-1996, as compared with the consumer rates. Amount s of electrical power delivered to agricultural 
producers (thou. kWatt-hour) multiplied by a difference in the rates are equal to the amount of benefits for agricultural produ cers from lower rates for electrical power.

24 Partial Reimbursement of Agricultural Producers Expenditures on Bank Loan Interest"(p.3) relates to reimbursements with budget ary funds of the difference between 
the privileged interest rate and the commercial interest rate fo r loans extended by commercial banks to agricultural enterprise s. 
25"Partial Reimbursement to Producers for Purchases of Elite Seeds" (p. 4) relates to the state program of selection in plant gro wing, which is funded with budgetary 
funds.  Funding is provided pursuant to Law of Ukraine No. 3690 "On Seeds" of 15 December 1993.  Budgetary outlays are used to partially reimburse agricultural producers for 
quality-related costs within their purchases of elite seeds. 
26 The state program of selection in stock raising is funded pursuant to Law of Ukraine # 3691"On livestock breeding" of 15 Decem ber 1993.  Budgetary outlays are 
used to partially reimburse expenses connected with the improvem ent of genetic potential of cattle and poultry, creation of the  domestic pedigree pool, and bio-technological herd 
methods. 
27 In the course of revision of the tables (as of 20 October 2000), Ukraine made calculations of benefits both from using outstan ding financial assistance as interest-free 
loans and budgetary loans for purchases of agricultural produce, which were received by agricultural producers, in the tables f or the base period. Therefore, in the new version of 
the Tables for the base period 1994 to 1996 the amount of outstanding financial assistance (p. 6) and the amount of budgetary l oans for purchases of agricultural produce, 
unrepaid in due time (p. 7), were substitu ted accordingly for the amount of benefits fr om using these unrepaid amounts as inter est-free loans.

 ANNEX 
Ukraine continues negotiate the level of suppor t to agriculture based on the revised document 
WT/ACC/SPEC/UKR/1/Rev.8 (domestic support of agriculture for the years 1994-1996). 
Following the plurilateral negotiati ons on agriculture that took pl ace during the ninth Working Party 
Meeting on Ukraine's Accession to WTO (June 2002) , Ukraine made some clarifications and 
introduced the following changes into the Tabl es DS:1, DS:4 and the Working Table 1:   
- Table DS:1, in column 2 on Program b) "public stockholding for food security purposes" 
the words "information not disclosed" are repl aced with words "Was applied, but did not 
correspond to the criteria of Annex 2"; 
- Cost of the programs j) "environmental progr ams" was reduced after review of these 
programs for compliance with the criteria of paragraph 12 of Annex 2 to the Agreement 
on agriculture; 
- Table DS:4 and Working Table:1 there was a t echnical mistake in the calculation of value 
of meat of cattle for 1995.  Along with this, AMS remains unchanged. 
Ukraine also provides the replies to requests of th e Working Party members, which were submitted in 
writing before the ninth Working Party Meeting on  Ukraine's Accession to WTO, and which arose 
during the ninth Working Party Meeting. 
- Answers to the requests of the Working Party members referring to:  
Compliance of the Program "Public Stockholding for Food Security Purposes" with the criteria set out 
in paragraph 3 of Annex 2 to the Agreement on Ag riculture and submission of information on the 
amount of this Program's budget. 
Ukraine has reviewed the compliance of the Program "Public Stockholding for Food Security 
Purposes" in force with the criteria set out in para graph 3 of Annex 2 to the Agreement on Agriculture 
during the base period of 1994-1996.  During this pe riod the products were purchased into the State 
reserves of Ukraine according to the current regulat ed or negotiated wholesale prices of the producing 
enterprises and product suppliers, determined according to the current legislation.  The products from 
the State reserves were sold at prices independe ntly established by the State Reserve Committee, 
based on the level of regulated or  negotiated wholesale prices existing at the moment of sale of the 
same or analogous products in places of sale thereo f with consideration of the expiry period, present 
demand and quality.  Thus, there was a certain inconsistency during th e base period with one 
provision of paragraph 3, in par ticular:  "food purchases by the government shall be made at current 
market prices and sales from food security stocks sha ll be made at no less than the current domestic 
market price for the product and quality in ques tion".  Difference between the purchasing price and 
external reference price for products , which were bought at the regulate d (administered) price with the 
purpose of ensuring food security, is taken into account in the calculation of the base period AMS.  That is why Ukraine does not provide the informati on on the amount of financing of this program, and 
words "Information not available" in column 2 of the Supporting Table DS:1 on the program b) 
"Public stockholding for food security purposes" ar e replaced with "Was applied, but did not 
correspond to the criteria of Annex 2". 
Currently, the Law of Ukraine of 22 February 20 02 "On the Purchase of Goods, Works and Services 
for the State Needs" No.1490-III is in effect, and establishes general lega l and economic grounds for 
purchasing goods, works and services with State funds .  The goal of this Law is the creation of 
compatible environment in this area, ensuring of transparency of the procedures for purchasing goods, 
works and services with State Funds and achieving thei r optimal and rational utilization.  This Law is 
applied to any purchase of goods, works and services, which is fully or partia lly done at the expense 
of the State Budget of Ukraine. Purchases for St ate utilization are done only through open tenders.   WT/ACC/SPEC/UKR/1/Rev.9 
 Page 35 
 
 
 Thus, at the current moment the process of accumu lation of State food reserves and utilization thereof 
is transparent from the standpoint of financing, and is carried out at market prices. 
- Compliance of the rural infrastructure developm ent with the criteria of paragraph 2, Annex 2 
to the Agreement on Agriculture  
The rural development programs, as demonstrated by Ukraine in the Supporting Tables, correspond to 
the criteria of paragraph 2 of Annex 2 to the Agreem ent of Agriculture.  According to Article 6 of the 
Law of Ukraine "On the Priority of Social Develo pment in Rural Areas and Agricultural Complex in 
the Economy" of 15 May 1992, No. 2346, the cons truction in rural areas of water-pipe networks, 
sewage systems and facilities, gas supply networks, roads, institutions for education, health protection, culture and sports, household service facili ties, beautification of territories, and in villages 
with deficit of labour resources - besides that - house-building is conducted at the expense of State 
and local budgets.  This category of expenditure be longs to the general services and falls within the 
criteria of paragraph 2 (g). Referring to institutions of education, hea lth protection, culture and sports, 
it is mentioned in the paragraph 2 of Annex 2 to the Agreement on Agriculture that policies of the 
category "general services" are not restricted only to the following list.  Moreover, policies in this 
category involve expenditures on programs of services provided not only in the area of agriculture, 
but also - to the rural community". 
Thus, it may be assumed, as was done by Ukraine, th at the list of paragraph 2 (g) "infrastructural 
services" is not restricted to items listed in that paragraph.  The rendering of services to the rural community may also include capital investment in ins titutions of culture and health protection in rural 
areas. Ukraine considers this type of support as a sp ecific type of support to agriculture, but not the 
social infrastructure as a whole.  For this reason, these institutions in  rural areas were maintained and 
continue to be maintained at the expense of agricu ltural enterprises, and are also in possession of these 
legal entities. As of early 2001, agricultural ente rprises in rural areas owned 5,000 schools, 5,000 pre-
school educational institutions, 4. 7 club-houses and 357 retirement homes.  This is a specific feature 
of Ukraine's economy in transition.  All infrastruct ural objects, which are fully owned or managed by 
the enterprises, are being gradually passed into the municipal property in Ukraine.  
Connected with the reduction of State investment in infrastructure in rura l areas, the agricultural 
enterprises pay for the construction of infrastru cture on their own.  When large projects are 
constructed at the expense of agricultural enterpri ses, the losses incurred by them shall be reimbursed 
from the State Budget and the local budgets (Article  6 of the Law of Ukraine "On the Priority of 
Social Development in Rural Areas and Agricultural Complex in the Economy"). 
The reimbursement of expenses of agricultural en terprises on construction of  non-production-related 
investment in rural areas is also incorporated into the "general services - rural infrastructure 
development" in Ukraine.  This type of support may be consider ed as part of "general services" 
because the auxiliary departments, such as cons truction department, wh ich rendered services on 
constructing infrastructure in rural areas belong to the agriculture enterprises. 
If WTO members do not accept this explanation, then  the sum of compensation to the agricultural 
enterprises on construction of non-pr oduction-related object in rural areas may be indicated as "direct 
payments to producers, exempt from reduction comm itments in additional table DS:3, which should 
supplement the tables on domestic agricultural support.   According to paragraph 5 of Annex 2 of the 
Agreement on Agriculture "where exemption from re duction is claimed for any existing or new types 
of direct payment other that those specified in para graphs 6 through 13, it shall conform to the criteria 
(b) through (e) in paragraph 6, in addition to  the general criteria set out in paragraph 1". WT/ACC/SPEC/UKR/1/Rev.9 
Page 36  
 
 - Compliance of environmental programs to the cr iteria set out in paragraph 12 of Annex 2 to 
the Agreement on Agriculture  
Ukraine has reviewed the compliance of environmenta l programs in force with the criteria set out in 
paragraph 12 of Annex 2 to the Agreement on Ag riculture during the base period of 1994-1996, and 
introduced the relevant changes into the DS:1 tabl es, having left only programs compliant with the 
provisions of paragraph 12.  Rights to such paymen ts are granted within clearly defined government 
programs of environmental protection and depend on the fulfillment of particular conditions specified 
by such government programs.  The assessed value of  this measure is within the expenditure of the 
State Budget of Ukraine under the Section "Protection of the Environment". Measures provided by duly approved environmental programs include: "P rotection and Rational Utilization of Lands", 
"Protection and Rational Utilization of Water Resour ces", "Creation of Protective Forest Plantations 
and Field Protection Forest Strips".  The creation of  protective forest plantations and field protection 
forest strips is regulated by the Forest Code of Ukraine No. 3852-XII of 21 January 1994 and the Law of Ukraine "On the Protection of the Environmen t" No. 1264-XII of 25 June 1991.  This program 
provides financing for the creation of protective fo rest plantations with th e purpose of preventing 
erosion and reducing the influence of droughts, hot winds, wind and water land erosion.  These 
protective forest plantations are not used for co mmercial production purposes. Payments allocated for 
the protection and rational use of lands are being u sed for construction of anti-erosion hydro-technical 
constructions and re-cultiv ation of disturbed lands.  Measures envisaged by the Complex Program of 
Implementation of Anti-Flood Measures for 1994-2000,  approved by the Decree of the Cabinet of 
Ministers of Ukraine No. 37 of 26 January 1994 were  effectuated through the part of budget allocated 
for the protection and rational utilization of wate r resources.  These costs were mainly spent on 
restoration of results of flooding on vast agricultura l territories and landslides control in the rural areas 
of South East regions of Ukraine.

Negative amounts of support.  Ukraine is not co mmitted to exclude the negative amount of market 
price support in its calculation of the AMS, as the Agreement on Agriculture does not require this. 
Some countries that are already members of the WTO have included negative indicators in their 
calculations of the AMS.  
Market Price Support.  The applied administered pric es used by Ukraine for calculation of the support 
of the market price are average prices at whic h the State purchased agricultural produce under the 
state procurement or state contracts.  These prices were set and made known at the beginning of the 
marketing year long before (5-6 months in advance)  the mass sale of produce.  For State's purchases, 
prices for agricultural produce were set by the Stat e at a higher level than market prices for purposes 
of maintaining the level of incomes of agricultura l producers at a certain guaranteed level. Payment 
for the produce purchased by the State were guara nteed by contracts.  The establishment of 
administered prices influenced price policies of the market operators, that is, the market price 
increased due to this factor. Besides, as is well know n, both the declaration of a purchase of a certain 
fixed amount of produce by the State and the actual purchase influence the rise of the market prices.  
External reference prices. Ukraine,  while calculating external reference prices kept to the procedure 
established by attachment 3 (paragraph 9) of the Agreement on Agriculture.  An external reference 
price is an average f.o.b. unit value (if Ukraine is  a net exporting country) or an average c.i.f. unit 
value (if Ukraine is a net importing country). 
Adjustment of a price with respect to internal tr ansportation and other expens es was made by Ukraine 
in Working table 2 in order to make "external refe rence prices", that is, prices at the border of the 
country more comparable with the "administered prices".  Producers receive the administered price 
"at the gate of a farm". Average distance from the agricultural producer to the sea port of Odessa 
exceeds 400 kilometers in Ukraine.  As may be seen from the calculations in Working table 2, 
transportation expenses, various charges and storage are rather high in Ukraine.  Therefore, Ukraine 
takes them into account. Otherwise prices will be ha rdly comparable.  Methodically, such corrections 
are appropriate and comply with the methodology  for calculating support to the market price 
developed and applied by the Organization of Ec onomic Cooperation and Development (OECD).  
Moreover, Ukraine will apply the same approach in the future for estimating the level of current 
domestic support of agriculture. 
Quantity specified under the term "eligible production" means the volumes of state purchases under 
state orders or state contracts at which administ ered prices were set.  In the base period the total 
volume of output may not be viewed as subject to th e fixed administered price.  The Government of 
Ukraine declared the purchase of a fixed volume of  produce under state orders proceeding from the 
state funds allocated for such purpose.  
The use of foreign currency and an average annual ra te. In the case of Ukraine, the use of domestic 
currency would have rendered the calculations inco mparable for various years due to a number of 
reasons. Firstly, significant inflation was in plac e during the base period.  Secondly, in 1996 the 
monetary reform was carried out and the national currency - Hrivna replaced the Ukrainian Karbovanets (the Decree of the President of Ukraine "On Monetary Re form" of 25 August 1996 
No. 762).  
The average annual exchange rate of the national cu rrency to the US dollar was comparable with the 
average exchange rate effective during the period wh en the State paid for the purchased produce and 
state payments for other measures were uniform during the whole year. T herefore, the use of the average annual exchange rate of th e national currency to the US dolla r to estimate the level of support WT/ACC/SPEC/UKR/1/Rev.9 
Page 38  
 
 in the base years is acceptable.  For calculations there were used th e average annual official exchange 
rate of the Ukrainian Karbovane ts (1994-1995) and Ukrainian Hrivna (1996) to the US dollar 
established by the National Bank of Ukraine. 
Thus, while calculating the AMS of the base period, Ukraine did not deviate from the procedure set 
out by the Agreement on Agriculture and WTO practice.

57 This measure meets criteria listed in Annex 2, paragraph 12 of the WTO Agreement on Agricultures.  The right to such payments is given under clearly determined 
governmental programmes for environment protection and depend on meeting specific conditions under the governmental programmes.   The cost of the measure is estimated 
within expenses stated in the State Budget, in the section entitle d "Environmental Protection".  Expenses in "Environmental Pro tection" of the State Budget are calculated on the 
basis of measures provided for by environmental programmes approved under the existing procedure (in due course):  "Protection and rational use of water resources", 
"Protection and rational use of soils", "Setting up of protectiv e tree plantations and windbelts", "Preservation of nature rese rves".  Payments under Article "Protection and rational 
use of water resources" were used for protection against harmful effects by waters from agricu ltural lands and for anti-floodin g measures.  The setting up of protective tree 
plantations and windbelts is governed by Ukraine's Forestry Code No. 3852-XII dated 21 April 1994 and by Ukraine's law No. 1264 -XII dated 25 May 1991 "On Protection of 
the Environment".  Major regulatory documents governing the activ ities of the nature reserve-rela ted institutions are Ukraine's  law "On Nature Reserves of Ukraine" and the 
program for prospective development of nature reserve-related ac tivities in Ukraine, approved by the Supreme Rada of Ukraine's (resolution) No. 177/94-BP dated 
29 September 1994.  Payments as to protection and rational use of soils include the funding for fundamental improvement of agri cultural companies' soils.  Soils fundamental 
improvement funds are used to lime acid soils and gypsum medium and supersalt soils and also individual salt parcels on salt-fr ee soil fields.  The state budget funds of this 
designation are directly allocated to agricultural companies on the basis of selection (competition) committees' decisions.
