however ,iclimited andthestatistics arethusbroadly reliable .
8.Under thissemi-liberalisation system imports ofroses andcarnations areef­
fected in *thefollowing iiia.nn.er s
(a)these highly perishable products require arapid transport .,Kenya ,Colombia
andIsrael sendexports totheEEXJonlybyair.Israel usesajumbo-jet .(upto2
-3flights perday)forhorticultural products .Therelatively h.iphtransport
costs canbeborne without subsidies ifexports areeffected intheoff-season
orconcern top-quality products . .__
(forexample ,carnations fromColumbia )orcomefromcountries where production
costs areverylow(particularly Kenya ,which in1976exported increased consign­
ments of .carnations ,atlowprices andofmediocre ^quality.Air transport ,including
charter flights where necessary ,naturally makes itpossible tostepupexports
veryrapidly andthisfactor wasresponsible forthetemporary disturbance ofthe
market duetotheincrease incarnation exports fromIsrael inDecember .1976-

(b)thestructureoftheexporttradevariesconsiderably fromcountrytocountry.
