ANNEX
 
 
 
Since the period of 1986-88 which served as the b asis for establishing the base total AMS and the 
annual commitment levels in the area of domestic sup port, Hungary has experienced rather high levels 
of inflation which, compared to those of our ma jor 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 ar ea of domestic support, it is considered to be 
necessary to indicate the total AMS commitment levels for 1999 and 2000 as adjusted  for the effects 
of inflation:  
 
 This amount equals: 1999: HUF  165,872 million     2000: HUF  189,325 million
