  - Supporting Table DS:1 
Question 1 We wish to provide Ukraine with a few techni cal comments on its supporting tables.  We 
reserve the right to ask additional questions as  our work on finalizing Ukraine's supporting 
tables progresses. 
Answer:
 
Ukraine's general remarks regard ing technical comments on document 
WT/ACC/SPEC/UKR/1/Rev.10:  All the comments re ferred to hereunder concern the information on 
internal support given to Ukraine's agriculture during 2000 through 2002, supplied by the Ukrainian 
Delegation with the sole purpose of providing in formation on the level of general support for 
agriculture during the indicated period.  Ukraine regards the absence of any questions from this 
Members concerning the tables covering the b ase period 1994 through 1 996 as signifying the 
completion of discussions over these tables covering th e period 1994 through 1996,  with this Member 
and the acceptance by this Member of Ukraine's positi on in regard of adopting these tables as basis for 
formulating Ukraine's commitments regarding the contraction of such support. 
Question 2 For the program "public stockholding for food security purposes," Ukraine has entered the 
term "information not disclosed."  This needs to  be removed.  If Ukraine decides to develop a 
program that is consistent with Annex 2 criteria in the future it has the right to do so.  A DS:2 notification for new measures for which exemption is being claimed should be submitted prior to the implementation of the program for other WTO Members to review in the WTO 
Committee on Agriculture. 
Answer: 
 
We agree, the term will be deleted.  
Question 3 
Concerning environmental programs, could Ukrain e confirm that the measures notified involve 
direct payments to producers and are not gen eral services?  Also, with respect to the soil 
improvement program, which we understand was transferred to supporting table DS:1 from 
DS:9, could Ukraine define the term "agricultu ral company"?  Footnote 51 states that "The 
state budget funds of this designation are direct ly allocated to agricultural companies on the 
basis of selection (competition) committees' decisions." 
Answer:  
Yes, the measures notified provide for direct payments .  As regards the reference to "agricultural 
companies" in footnote 51, this appears to be an  erroneous translation into English.  The footnote 
actually referred to "agricultural enterprises".  We are grateful to the Member for drawing our attention to this.    WT/ACC/SPEC/UKR/6/Add.7

  - Supporting Table DS:5 
Question 4 We appreciate Ukraine's use of total sugar produc tion to calculate market price support.  We 
believe that Ukraine should use total production  for eligible production for all market price 
support calculations. 
Answer: 
 
Indeed,  in tables  covering the period of 2000 through 2002,  total sugar production was shown as 
eligible production level, as different from the period of 1994 through 1996 for which volumes of 
sugar production purchased by the state were shown as eligible production level.  Mechanisms used 
for support of market prices were different in th e two periods, so accordingly, different volumes of 
sugar production were shown as e ligible production levels:  for the former (2000 - 2002), total 
production of sugar, and for th e latter (1994 - 1996), volumes of sugar production purchased by the 
state (eligible (purchased) production).  Incident ally, similar methodological approach was also 
adopted by other former Soviet Union republics (e.g. Lithuania) in calculating market price support in their supporting tables which served as basis for th e formulation of commitments regarding the 
contraction of such support.  
- Supporting Tables DS:6 and DS:9 
Question 5 We remain concerned with the inclusion of VAT exemptions and privileges in these tables. 
As we and other WTO Members have stated at p revious meetings and in writing, we reiterate 
our firm position that tax exemptions and privileges must not be included in Ukraine's 
supporting tables. 
Answer: 
 
The supporting  tables covering the period of 1994 - 1996 and serving as basis for the formulation of 
commitments, already did not include tax exempti ons and privileges.  In adjusting those tables, 
Ukraine took this Member's request into consider ation and excluded tax exemptions and privileges 
from tables covering the period of 1994 - 1996, upon recognizing that AMS amount of US$ 1.3 
billion would be sufficient to form the basis for the fulfilment of its  support contraction commitments.  
Prior to exclusion of tax exemptions and privile ges, AMS for the period of 1994 - 1996 amounted to 
US$ 2.7 billion.  Monitoring of the total amount of support taking into account tax exemptions and 
privileges granted to agricultural producers in  the period of 2000 - 2002, will be deleted from the 
document WT/ACC/SPEC/UKR/1/Rev.11 which will be drawn up to replace 
WT/ACC/SPEC/UKR/1/Rev.10, for the next meeting on matters of internal support for agriculture.  
- Law on State Support of Agriculture in Ukraine (WT/ACC/SPEC/UKR/6/Add.6 and 
WT/ACC/UKR/121) 
Question 6 Thank you very much for the new responses to questions discussed at the last plurilateral 
meeting (WT/ACC/SPEC/UKR/6/Add.5) and th e additional information on Ukraine's 
agricultural support programmes (WT/ACC/SPEC/UKR/6/Add.6). 
We also appreciate the responses in WT/ACC/SPEC/UKR/6/Add.3-4 to previous questions. WT/ACC/SPEC/UKR/6/Add.7 
Page 4  
 
  It is critical that we have a clear understanding  of Ukraine's agricultural policies in order to 
respond to the issues raised in WT/ACC/SPEC/UKR/6/Add.6. 
We believe that a discussion of Ukraine's agricultural legislation that leads to a full 
understanding of Ukraine's domestic support polic ies will be the most efficient and productive 
way to advance our work on Ukraine's do mestic support tables and commitments. 
We remain concerned that certain provisions of th is law are not WTO-consistent.  In particular, 
we are very concerned with the provisions of Arti cle 8, which allow for the imposition of import 
quotas, as well as the use of minimum import pric es.  We would appreciate a copy of the law, in 
English, that went into effect on 1 January 2005. 
Answer: 
 
The Ministry of Agrarian Policy prepared a draf t Law "On Amendments to the Law of Ukraine 'On 
State Support of Agriculture in Ukraine'", which provi des for repealing the provisions of Article 8 that 
provide for the introduction of quotas on imports or  exports of commodities subject to State price 
regulation and the application of special rules gove rning the conduct of export and import operations 
involving such objects commodities. 
Ukraine will provide an English copy of the Law.   
Question 7 
We are also concerned with the possibility of ex ports of products purchased through commodity 
intervention.  We appreciate Ukraine' s response to Question 22 in document 
WT/ACC/SPEC/UKR/6/Add.3, however, it sugg ests that product can be exported after 
1 January 2009.  We need a clearer picture of  how Ukraine's Agricultural Fund will operate 
with respect to imports and exports. 
Answer:  
In accordance with Articles 6.3 and 7.3 of the La w "On Law on State Support of Agriculture in 
Ukraine" Ukraine confirms that until 1 January 200 9 neither commodity interventions in respect with 
the objects of price regulation will be carried out with  the purpose of their further export, nor financial 
interventions will be used for purchase of the object s of price regulation that had previously been 
imported to Ukraine.  There are currently no lega l provisions or procedures governing the operations 
of the Agricultural Fund with respect to imports a nd exports after 1 January 2009.  Any procedures 
that will be developed will be in line with the WTO provisions. 
Question 8 
We appreciate Ukraine's response to Question 25 in WT/ACC/SPEC/UKR/6/Add.3 regarding 
the functions of the Agricultural Fund.  Please confirm this Fund will not only have any 
exclusive rights but also not have any special ri ghts with regard to the import or export of 
commodities that are purchased by the Fund. 
Answer:  
Ukraine confirms that Agricultural Fund will not have any special rights with regard to the import or 
export of commodities that are purchased by the Fund.   WT/ACC/SPEC/UKR/6/Add.7 
 Page 5 
 
 
  Question 9 
We appreciate Ukraine's response to Question 27 in WT/ACC/SPEC/UKR/6/Add.3 that the 
products for the state food reserve are purchased at administrative prices and are therefore "amber box" measures.  However, we do not understand the difference between products 
purchased for the state food reserve and the func tion of the State Committee of Ukraine on 
State Material Reserve to form state (mobilized) reserves of agricultural products. Are 
purchases for the agricultural food reserve made on  the basis of market prices or intervention 
prices?  Why does Ukraine consider the first programs "amber box" measures and the second 
program, "green box" measures? 
Answer: 
 
The difference in purchases for the State Food Reserve  and the State Material Reserve relates to the 
distinction that each of them serves a different  purpose.  The Agriculture Fund forms the State Food 
Reserve for conducting market interventions aimed at price support of agricultural producers, thus this 
is a "yellow box" subsidy.  The function of the State Committee of Ukraine on the State Material 
Reserve is to ensure national food security.   
In order to remove different interpretations of the terms "State Food Reserve" and "State Material 
Reserve", it is suggested that the first of th e aforementioned terms be replaced for the term 
"Intervention Fund", given that purchases for it w ill be carried out predominantly at intervention 
prices. 
Question 10 
Moreover, it is not clear from our discussion  in the November plurilateral meeting how and 
when the law will be brought into compliance with WTO rules.   
Answer:  
The Law will be amended before accession. 
Question 11  
Please confirm that Ukraine will amend this legisl ation to make it WTO-consistent and provide 
a timeline for when these changes will be made.   
Answer:  
Ukraine confirms that the Law on State Support of Agriculture in Ukraine will be amended before 
accession and that it will be consistent with the WT O provisions.  The Draft Amendments to the Law 
are being elaborated at this stage. 
Question 12 
While the information provided in WT/ACC/UKR/6/Add.6 concerning implementation of the 
Law on State Support of Agriculture in Ukraine is helpful, we still need a better understanding 
of how certain support provisions will operate in or der to evaluate how they should be notified 
to the WTO. WT/ACC/SPEC/UKR/6/Add.7 
Page 6  
 
  Answer: 
 
Please see Annex 1 below.  For additional informati on, Ukraine provided an English copy of the Law 
on State Support of Agriculture which clearly details the support provisions. 
Question 13 
We understand that at the November plurilatera l meeting the representative from Ukraine 
informed that some of the provisions in the law have not been implemented.  For example, we 
understood that certain livestock subsidies had not been implemented. 
Answer:  
Ukraine confirms that the Law on State Support of Agriculture in Ukraine is  a framework law, which 
defines the fundamentals of state support in budgeta ry, credit, price, insurance, regulatory and other 
spheres of state administration in respect of stim ulation of agricultural pr oduction and development of 
the agricultural market.  As such, authorized meas ures stipulated in this law will be applied as 
necessary. 
Question 14 
To advance our work it would be extremely help ful if Ukraine could develop a matrix that 
clearly identifies each of the support policies cont ained in this law, the products they cover, a 
description of the measure, and if it has been implemented.  If a measure has not been implemented, it would be helpful to know if Uk raine intends to implement the measure, and if 
so, when. 
For example:  
− For commodity intervention, Ukraine should sp ecify the range of products eligible for 
commodity intervention; the support prices announced by product;    
− For state pledge purchases: Ukraine should sp ecify the range of products eligible, how 
this program operates (including, how it di ffers from commodity intervention), loan 
rates by product; 
− For insurance subsidies: pro ducts eligible, how the fund will operate, the timetable for 
introduction of these subsidies; 
− For credit subsidies: a description of how this program operate, i.e., do agricultural 
producers receive lower interest rates?  Are all producers eligible to receive this 
support; and 
− This list is illustrative and not meant to ref lect all of the policy measures contained in 
the Law.  Ukraine should provide informatio n for all measures contained in the law so 
that Members can better understand Ukraine's policy environment.

Please, see Annex 1 below.   
- Law "On Amending Certain Laws of Ukraine on Taxation of Agricultural Enterprises 
and Support of Social Standards of Their Employees"  WT/ACC/SPEC/UKR/6/Add.7 
 Page 7 
 
 
  Question 15 
We understand from the November plurilateral meeting that this law has been vetoed by the 
President and that a new version is being prepared.  We look forward to receiving a copy of the revised version. 
We also look forward to receiving an explan ation from Ukraine on how the new law will 
operate, and how it will bring Ukraine's VAT syst em into compliance with GATT Article III.  
Answer: 
 
First of all, it should be noted that the Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine 
on Taxation of Agricultural Producers and Support of  Social Standards for their Employees", dated 
24 June 2004, under No. 1878 -IV, is not the Law of direct app licability, and it only amended primary 
laws on taxation, in particular the Law of Ukra ine "On the Value Added Tax" through introducing 
Article 8¹ entitled "The Special Regime of Taxation of Activities in the Area of Agriculture, Forestry 
and Fishery (hereinafter, "Article 8¹"). 
Ukraine undertakes efforts to eliminate discriminati on in VAT rates contemplated by Article 8¹.  
For the current year, the said problem has been r esolved by the Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to 
the Law of Ukraine "On the Value Added Tax" in respect of Taxation of Agricultural Enterprises", 
dated 18 October 2005, No. 2987. 
The Law provides that currently effective special regimes of VAT taxation of agricultural producers, 
which are not inconsistent with WTO accession rules,  shall be prolonged until 2007 and that Article 
8¹ will be suspended. 
Ukraine is in the process of preparing draft amendm ents to the VAT Law to ensure full conformity 
with Article III of the GATT 1994 upon the accession.

Ukraine "On State 
Support to Agriculture" Description of the measure pursuant to the Law 2005 2006 
1. State price regulation (SPR) through 
commodity and financial 
interventions on the organized 
agricultural market. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Formation of the State Food Reserve 
(the "SFR") by the Agrarian Fund 
with the purpose of carrying out 
commodity interventions.  
 Articles 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 The State regulates prices for certain types of agricultural produce 
by setting minimum and maximum purchase prices. The essence 
of state price regulation is that the Agrarian Fund carries out state 
interventions in volumes that allow setting the equilibrium price 
at a level, which is not below the minimum and not above the 
maximum purchase price.  
A State agrarian intervention means a sale or purchase of 
agricultural produce on the organized agricultural market with the 
purpose of ensuring the price stability.  
Commodity interventions are carried out through a sale of 
agricultural produce in case of an increase of prices on the 
organized agricultural market ab ove the maximum level with the 
purpose of setting the equilibrium price. 
Financial interventions are carried out through acquisition of 
agricultural produce in case of a decrease of prices on the 
organized agricultural market be low the minimum level with the 
purpose of setting the equilibrium price. 
The list of commodities, which are objects of price regulation, 
and minimum purchase prices (support prices) are set by the 
Government on a yearly basis. The list of commodities and 
minimum purchase for the 2005/2006 marketing year are 
attached.  
The Agrarian Fund sells and purchas es objects of price regulation 
on accredited exchanges to or from the State Food Reserve, 
carries out commodity interven tions through sale of certain 
objects of price regulation. 
In order to avoid different interp retations of the notions "State 
Food Reserve" and "State Materi al Reserve", the Ministry of 
Agricultural Policy suggests that th e first term be replaced with 
the "intervention fund". It is anti cipated that the draft law, once 
agreed upon, will be submitted to th e Secretariat of the Cabinet of 
Ministers of Ukraine by 10 March 2006. Earmarked UAH 335

2. State budgetary loans (SBL) against 
pledges of grain  Article 12 State pledge-secured purchases of grain mean that the grain 
producer is granted a state loan against pledge executed through 
the issuance to a creditor of an ordinary or double warehouse 
certificate or a warehouse receipt. 
By Order of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy No. 316 "On the 
Amount of Budgetary Loan agains t pledge of Object of State

ton as 80% of the minimum purchase price. By Resolution No. 638 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine "On 
Establishment of the Amount of Payment for Use of a Budgetary 
Loan by Grain Producers under the Regime of State pledge-
secured Purchases of Grain", dated 25 July 2005, for the year 
2005 the payment for use of budgetary funds was established at 
the level of 8.95% p.a.  A commodity producer could enter into a 
loan agreement with the Agrari an Fund, receive 80% of the 
minimum price for a respective type of produce and pay 0.75% 
per month as payment for the use of a budgetary loan.

3.  Insurance subsidies Articles 10,  11 Insurance subsidies are granted to manufacturers of agricultural 
produce. If they insure risks of loss of agricultural produce and 
capital assets insured under the terms of complex or index 
insurance, they are entitled to receive an insurance subsidy in the 
amount of 50% of the insurance premiums paid for insurance of 
agricultural produce as well as capital assets. 
The Fund for Agrarian Insurance Subsidies has not been 
established yet. Accordingly, in surance subsidies are not still 
granted pursuant to the procedure set out in Articles 10 and 11 of 
the Law. 
However, starting from 2005 pursuant to the Law on the State 
Budget of Ukraine, the Ministry of Agrarian Policy provided for 
expenditures to partially cover th e value of insurance premiums 
(contributions) actually paid by agricultural market subjects to 
insurers for the insured risks of destruction (loss) of agricultural 
produce or part thereof. 
Compensation is paid to agricultural market subjects who insured 
the risks of destruction (losses) of agricultural produce (wheat, 
rye, mixture of wheat and rye, barley, oats, corn, soybeans, flax, 
rape, sunflowers, hop, sugar beets) according to the rules of 
complex and index insurance in the amount of 50% of the amount 
of the value of insurance premiums (contributions) actually paid 
to insurers within the amount of the insurance premium 
(contribution) not exceeding 5% of the amount of the insured risk 
calculated based on the minimum purchase price for the said 
produce. Earmarked UAH 5.9

4. Credit subsidies Article 13  The granting of credit subsidies means financial support to 
agricultural enterprises that prod uce objects of price regulation 
(Article 3.3.1) through partial co mpensation of the interest paid 
by such enterprises for short-term and medium-term credits taken 
from commercial banks and short-te rm credits taken from credit 
unions.  
A credit subsidy is granted up to 50% of the amount of an interest 
accrued on the principal amount of a credit but not exceeding 50% of the average weighted interest on bank credits in national 
currency fully secured by pledge  effective in Ukraine as of 
1 February of the current fiscal year and granted:  
(a)  for short-term credits up to 12 calendar months;  
(b)  for medium-term credits up to 36 calendar months.  
The procedure for calculating such average weighted interest is 
determined by a resolution passed by the Cabinet of Ministers of 
Ukraine pursuant to a submission made by the National Bank of 
Ukraine. The amount of credit su bsidy is annually published by 
the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine not later than 1 March of the 
current fiscal year. 
The Agrarian Fund still does not provide credit subsidies as set 
out in Article 13 of the Law. 
However, pursuant to the Law of  Ukraine on the State Budget, 
starting from 2000 the Ministry of Agrarian Policy provided for 
expenditures for granting financial support to agricultural 
enterprises through partial compensation of the interest paid by 
these enterprises on the short-term  credits and, starting from 2004 
– long-term credits, taken fro m banks and credit unions. 
Compensation is paid on a competitive basis to agricultural 
enterprises who took credits in the current year provided that the 
interest rate for short-term bank credits does not exceed 21% per 
annum and 20% for long-term bank credits as well as 27% p.a. 
for credits taken from credit unions. 
The amount of compensation of the in terest rate is established by 
the Government on a yearly basis.
