EXPLANATORY NOTE 
 
Agricultural Domestic Support and Expor t Competition Commitments of Russia
 
 
Russia presents its position on fe deral and regional budgetary outla ys for direct and indirect 
agricultural domestic support and e xport subsidies.  The position is based on the factual information 
on domestic support in 1991-1993 and export subsidies in 1990-1992. 
The reasons for considering the period of 1991-1993 as representative are the following: 
- This period is the last three year peri od prior to the application of the Russian 
Federation for the GATT accession and late r – the WTO accession (1993 and 1994); 
- The period in question witnessed the initiation of an intensive process of economic 
reforms in agriculture including identification of the main producer support programmes.  However, their implementati on has been restrained by the lack of 
financial resources and the impacts of 1998 financial crisis; and 
- This period will enable exte nded reproduction in the agriculture sector and contribute 
to creation fairer terms of competition w ith the Russian Federations major trading 
partners in its domestic market. 
The amounts of export subsidies in the period of 1990-1992 enables Russia to ensure equal 
opportunities in the world markets and demonstrates the actual budgetary outlays for the disposal for 
export of non-commercial stocks at a price lower th an the comparable price in the domestic market. 
The cumulative amounts of the domestic support a nd export subsidies in Russia for the stated 
periods are presented below: WT/ACC/SPEC/RUS/17

The average annual support level over the peri od of 1991-1993 incorporates the federal and 
the regional budgetary outlay data  and amounts to US$16,242.55 million. 
Over the period of 1990-1992 the average annua l amount of export subsidies is US$726.12 
million. 
Given the six year period for domestic support and export subsidies reduction the 
commitments of the Russian Federation will be as follows: 
Annual and Final Bound Commitment Levels of  Aggregate Measurement of Support (US$) 
1 year 2 years 3 years 4 years 5 years 6 years 
15,701,131.67 15,159,713.33 14,618,295  14,076,876.67 13,535,458 12,994,040

682,557.5 638,990 595,422.5 551,855 508,287.5 464,720 
Total export subsidies – 726,125,000 
 
The calculations of producer budgetary support (Annex 1) and agricultural export subsidies 
(Annex 2) are prepared in compliance with th e methodology stipulated in the Agreement on 
Agriculture and Technical Note by the Secretariat (WT/ACC/4). 
The data for the calculations were obtained from the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of 
Finance, the Ministry of Economic Development a nd Trade, the State Statis tical Committee and other 
ministries and governmental bodies of the Russian Fe deration.  The calculations are made in the 
national currency as well as in US dollars by applyi ng the official average annual exchange rate. 
The list of domestic support programmes cont aining the description of each measure was 
submitted to the WTO Secretariat on 26 October 19 99 as a non-paper "Preliminary Calculations of 
Domestic Support on Agriculture". 
The proposals on export Subsidy commitments are b ased on the official information of export 
sales by the government of non-commercial stocks of  agricultural products at a price lower than the 
comparable price charged for the like product to buye rs in the domestic market.  Also, currently the 
data of the Ministry of Railways of the Russian Federation referring to the internal transport charges  WT/ACC/SPEC/RUS/17

 on agricultural export shipments on terms more fa vourable than for domestic shipments are being 
analysed for the period of 1990-1992.
