The major reason found for these limited impacts was that export subsidisation for these products implied in the base line projections was relatively small due to projected increases in w'orld market prices and policy reforms, in particular in the European Union.24 For dairy products, however, the effects were found to be much larger: 9% in the final year for skim milk powder, 15% for whole milk powder and as much as 26% for butter. At the same time, it was found that domestic prices in the countries eliminating export subsidies declined significantly, even for crops. For example, the European Union’s domestic price for coarse grains decreased by 14% in the final year.
