 Questions from the Delegation of Argentina
 
 1. Paragraphs 21 and 26 of the Secretariat report indicate that the Free Trade Agreement 
between Ukraine and FYROM does not provide fo r liberalization with respect to agricultural 
products for either of the parties. 
 Could the parties provide information for a rel evant period (e.g. 2000-2005) on trends in 
bilateral trade for the tariff lines corresponding to Sections I to IV of the Harmonized System?  
 Response from Ukraine
 
  Information on trends in bilateral trade for the tariff lines corresponding to Sections I to IV of 
the Harmonized System are provided in Tables I-II,  annexed hereto.  Please refer to Annex I. 
 
It should also be noted that under the provisi ons of this Agreement and the Decrees of the 
Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine the lists of pr oducts and the volume of quotas on goods imported to 
Ukraine, imports of which from FYROM are subject  to licensing under the tariff quota, are approved 
annually since 2002.  
These products are referred to 22 commodity groups under the UKTZED (Ukrainian 
Classification of Goods for Foreign Economic Activ ity based on Harmonized System).  During 2002 
and 2003 only 2 applications  were received for import licenses for natural grape wine (UKTZED code 
- 2204) in the volumes that is 9% of the quota (a nnual quota – 40,000 thousand litres, used share – 
3,500 thousand litres each year).  
During 2004 and 2005 there were no applications  for licenses to import to Ukraine of goods 
within a specified tariff quota.  
 WT/REG248/2/Rev.3 
Page 2  
 
  In 2006, among the goods, import of whic h from FYROM was under assignment of quotas, 
the applications were received only for tob acco (UKTZED code - 2401 10) in the volumes that 
constituted 3.03% of quota restrictions ( quota - 10000 tonnes, the use - 302.6 tonnes). 
 
During 2007 and 2008 the volume of licenses for import to Ukraine of grape wine was 
smaller than in 2002 and 2003, and amounted to  368,050 thousand litres a nd 1,000 thousand litres 
respectively, or 0.92% and 2.5% of the installed quota restrictions.  However, in 2008 the application 
for a license to import into Ukraine plants, plan t parts, seeds and fruits (UKTZED code - 1211 90) 
was received in the volume of 440 tonnes with quota of 500 tonnes (88%).   
Thus, the data on the use of tariff quot as on imports from FYROM in 2002-2008 shows 
extremely small and irregular usage of  quotas provided under the Agreement.  
 
Response from FYROM
 
 In terms of the liberalization of agricultura l products, these outcomes are reflecting the result 
of negotiations between the Parties. Additiona l Annex I prepared from FYROM is attached. 
 The volume of bilateral trade in agricultura l products between FYROM and Ukraine for the 
period since the implementation of the Agreement is not as large as we expected, and reflect the 
interest of both economies.  It is evident in the A nnex I referring to the tariff quotas that usage is quite 
low considering that FYROM allocates th em in the course of the current year. 
 Regarding the allocation of quotas to supplying countries,  it shall be noted that since 2003, 
the tariff quotas prescribed in the Free Trade Agre ement concluded by FYROM and Ukraine has been 
allocated to suppliers on a "first-come, first-served" basis.  This principle is applied to all countries 
with which FYROM has concluded FTAs. 
 The administration procedure of the quotas is subject to the provisions described in the 
Government Decision on procedure for allocation of tariff quotas, published in the Official Gazette of 
FYROM no. 29/ 2003; 59/ 2003; 76/ 2003; 1/2004 and 26/2010.   
 
2. Article 10 of the Agreement states that:  "P rovisions of this Chapter shall apply to 
agricultural products originating in one of the Contracting Parties.  The term "agricultural 
products" for purposes of this Chapter will refer to products falling within Chapters 1 to 24 of 
the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding  System, as well as to products listed in 
Annex 1 to this Agreement". 
Since Chapter 3 of the Harmonized System relates to fish and fish products, and 
Annex 1 to the Agreement on Agriculture states that the Agreement covers Chapters 1 to 24 of 
the Harmonized System less fish and fish products. 
 
Could the parties explain why the Free Trade Agreement between Ukraine and FYROM 
includes fish products as agricultural products?  Response from Ukraine
 
 
Taking into consideration that the Free Trad e Agreement between FYROM and Ukraine was 
signed and ratified in 2001, before Ukraine's acce ssion to WTO, the relevant provisions of the 
legislation of Ukraine are reflected in this Agreement.     WT/REG248/2/Rev.3 
 Page 3 
 
 
  In accordance with the Law of Ukraine No. 187 7-IV "On State Support of Agriculture of 
Ukraine" as of 24 June 2004 the agricultural pr oducts (agricultural commodities) - are goods 
mentioned in Groups 1-24 of the UKTZED accordi ng to the Law of Ukraine “On Customs Tariff of 
Ukraine”.   
Furthermore, the Law of Ukraine No. 168/97 as of 3 April 1997 "On value added tax" 
determines that the agricultural products – are produc ts that are produced as a result of activity in the 
field of agriculture, forestry or fishing. 
 
Response from FYROM
 
 
 FYROM has concluded FTA with Ukraine befo re it became a WTO Member (April 2003).  
 
 It should be also noted that pursuant to the na tional legislation related to the agriculture, the 
Law on Agriculture Development Incentives  (Official Gazette no.24/92, 32/92, 83/92, 78/93 and 
4/94), and the Annual Programmes for agricultural de velopment adopted pursuant to this Law, the 
agricultural products are considered products fro m Chapters 1 to 24 of Harmonized System.  
 
Questions from the Delegation of Chinese Taipei  
 Trade Environment
 
 
3. According to paragraph 9 of the WTO Secretariat’s Factual Presentation, the 
FTA between Ukraine and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia was signed on 
18 January 2001 and entered into force on 15 July 2001.  Could the Parties provide more details 
regarding the impact of this FTA on trade and the economic structure of the Parties since the 
Agreement entered into effect? Does the Agreemen t enhance foreign investment in both Parties 
or not? 
Response from Ukraine  
  During 2004-2008 Ukraine was among the twenty countries – largest trade partners of 
FYROM, and according to the indexes of export, Ukraine is among the leaders.   Together with that, it should be noted that establishment of the free trade area did not give 
expected results as average rates of growth of  bilateral commodity turnover with FYROM in 
2000-2008 were lower than the rates of gr owth of turnover with other countries. 
  The main article of Ukrainian exports was and remains Group 72 – Ferrous metals (according 
to the latest data – 70% of total export).  
 The main article of imports from FYROM un til 2007 was Group 24 – tobacco (77% of total 
imports).  New groups of commodities appear fro m 2007, such as Group 84 – boilers, machines, 
apparatus;  Group 85 – electric ma chines and Group 72 – ferrous metals. 
  The index of specific weight of Ukrainian – FY ROM trade in the foreign trade of Ukraine in 
2008 is 0.13%, as of January–June of 2009 – 0.09%.  Taking into consideration the specified indexes, 
the lack of substantial impact of the Free Tr ade Agreement on the structure of the economy of 
Ukraine can be affirmed.

   As regards foreign investment it should be noted that the investment cooperation between 
Ukraine and FYROM is conducted on the b asis of the Agreement on Promotion and 
Mutual Protection of Investments between the G overnment of Ukraine and the Government of 
FYROM signed on 2 March 1998.  De tails concerning investment between the two countries are 
provided below.

   Investments from Ukraine to FYROM are fully directed to the areas of financial activity – 
US$293,800 (100%).    Due to the fact that, according to the data fro m the State Committee of Statistics of Ukraine, 
direct investments from Ukraine to FYROM in the first half of 2009 were received from no more than 
two entities, information on their volume is c onfidential under the law of Ukraine "On State 
Statistics".  
Safeguard Mechanism
 
 
4. As regards “general safeguard”, paragraph 43 on page 18 of the Factual Presentation 
and Article 19b) of this Agreement state that safeguard measures can be adopted when imports may cause or threaten to cause “serious disrupt ions to any related sector of the economy or 
difficulties which could bring about serious deteri oration of the economic situation in the region 
of the Contracting Parties.” Could the Contract ing Parties clarify whether these conditions are 
only applicable to bilateral safeguard me asures, and provide more details about these 
conditions?  
Response from Ukraine
 
 
 Ukraine applies the safeguard measures in accordance with the Law "On Application of 
Safeguard Measures against Imports to Ukraine", as of  22 December 1998, No. 332-XIV, which is in 
conformity with provisions of the WTO Agreem ent on Safeguard Measures.  This law establishes 
general conditions and requirements concerning conduction of the investigation procedure and 
application of safeguard measures regardless of the country of export. 
 
Response from FYROM  
 
 FYROM applies safeguard measures in accordance  with the national legislation which is in 
conformity with the WTO Agreement on Safeguard s: Law on Trade (Offici al Gazette no.16/2004) 
and the Decision on Procedure and Method of De termining Safeguard Measures against Increased 
Imports (Official Gazette no. 28/2005) entered in to force as of 29 May 2005. (G/SG/N/1/MKD/1 and 
G/SG/N/1/MKD/1/Suppl.1) 
 
 Safeguard measures pursuant to the Law on Trade may be applied only following an 
investigation by the Commission that proves the re asons for the increased imports of a product and 
the caused serious injury or thr eat thereof to the domestic industr y. Safeguard measures under this 
Law shall be applied to all products  being imported irrespective of the country of origin or country of 
exportation.
