ANNEX
Since the period of 1986-88 which served as the basis for establishing the base total AMS and
the annual commitment levels in the area of domestic support, Hungary has experienced rather high
levels of inflation which, compared to those of our major trading partners can be qualified as
excessive. With the aim of allowing Members to carry out a realistic and accurate assessment of
Hungary's compliance with its reduction commitments in the area of domestic support, it is considered
to be necessary to indicate the total AMS commitment levels for 2001 and 2002 as adjusted for the
effects of inflation:
This amount equals: 2001: HUF 192 029 million
2002: HUF 173 097 million
