 EXPLANATION OF ADJUSTMENTS AND UPDATES 
IN DOCUMENT WT/ACC/SPEC/HRV/1/REV.1 
 
1. All commitments are expressed in ECU accordi ng to Croatia's Initial Offer already submitted 
to the WTO Secretariat. (WT/ACC/SPEC/HRV/2)  
 
2. Data that refer to the year 1994 were deleted and da ta for 1997 added. 
 3. In Table DS:1 three years average is gi ven for the measures included in "Green Box". 
 
(a) "General services" is under paragraph 2d of Annex 2 of the Agreement on Agriculture. 
 (b) "Public stockholding" is under para graph 3 of the Agreement on Agriculture. 
 (f) "Payments for  relief from natural disasters" is under paragraph 8 of the Agreement on 
Agriculture. 
 (k) "Regional assistance programmes" is under paragraph 13 of Annex 2 of the Agreement 
on Agriculture. 
 (l) "Other" means reassignment invested in land acquisition is under paragraph 2g of Annex 
2 of the Agreement on Agriculture. 
 Aggregated data from the Table DS:1 are also give n separately for each year in the period 1995-1997. 
 4. In Table DS:5 external reference prices we re determined in accordance with Annex 3 of the 
Agreement on Agriculture of the GATT where possi ble.  In cases where there were no referent 
quantities of Croatian import and export due to lack of official statistics data, external reference prices 
were extracted from relevant world publications a nd in cooperation with consultants of the World 
Bank.  5. In Table DS:6 data about "Non-exempt dir ect payments" (column 8) refer to budgetary 
outlays for certain products based on production in a calendar year (1 January to 1 December).  
Attached pleased find the table "Overview of pr oduction incentives and input subsidies in Croatian 
agriculture in the period 1995-1998".  The table sh ows the increase of financial incentives for certain 
products in the Mountain Region and Regions of Special State Care in 1997.  
6. Table DS:9 includes data about storage expenditures for agricultural products above 
expenditures given in the Table DS:1 Green box "Public stockholding for food security purposes".  
Other Important Information
 
 
1. AMS for the period 1995-1997 does not include "potential" support that would be used for 
regions that were temporarily out of full c ontrol of the Croatian government.  Under normal 
circumstances, the estimated share of these regions in the value of total AMS would range (depending 
on the non-integrated Croatian territory which decr eased from 27 per cent in 1995 to 4.5 per cent in 
1997) from 29 per cent to approximately 18 per cent respectively.  Integration of the remaining 4.5 
per cent of the territory (with the most valuable ag ricultural land) into the juridicial system of the 
Republic of Croatia at the beginni ng of 1998 will increase AMS in 1998. 
 2. Partly for the reasons listed in the previous  item, Croatia introduced several new types of 
agricultural subsidies in the first half of 1998, that would also influence the increase of AMS, after the 
reference period.  WT/ACC/SPEC/HRV/1/Rev.2 
 Page 3 
 
 
  
3. Based on these two points it can be seen that th e level of AMS in Croatia in the reference 
period 1995-1997 shows two negative aspects regard ing Croatian accession to the WTO, that put 
Croatia in a worse position compared to most other countries in transition:  
(a) support level in the period 1995-1997 was appr oximately 85 per cent lower than in the 
reference period established for the original me mbers of the GATT, i.e. approximately 60 
per cent lower than the estimated AMS in Croa tia in the first years of its independence 
(1990-1992); 
 
(b) AMS in the period 1995-1997  does not refer to the overall Croatian territory.  Due to 
war damages in the agricultural sector (a nd the overall economy) it was significantly 
lower than it would be under normal circumstances. 
  Based on all of the above-mentioned, Croatia w ould like to ask all member countries for their 
understanding in regard to these very specific problem s of Croatian agriculture that were the resul of 
the war in Croatia.  Croatia would highly appreciat e a more flexible approach of all the member 
countries of the Working Group that would not request a decrease in AMS for the period 1995-1997, but would let Croatia se the binding of AMS at th e level 15 per cent higher than the mentioned 
average.   This binding should be applied in a transition period, depending on the results of 
negotiations within the Working Group.
