WRITTEN QUESTION E-3301/02

by Francesco Fiori (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(21 November 2002)

Subject: Ukrainian wheat

As a result of the Council meeting of 15 July 2002, the option of taking into account the official price of
common wheat in Odessa for certain fodder varieties was definitively dropped. These kinds of wheat are
therefore now worth USD 75 per tonne, whilst US wheat, which serves as the basis for calculating import
duty, is USD 110 per tonne. If no action is taken, Ukrainian wheat will continue to enter the Union at
extremely competitive prices, i.e. USD 45 less.

In view of this worrying situation, what steps will the Commission take to introduce, as a matter of the
greatest urgency, adequate and necessary measures to re-establish Community preference?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(9 January 2003)

To resolve the external protection difficulties in the cereal sector, inputs having risen to record levels, the
Commission has decided to introduce from 1 January 2003 the new import quota arrangements for low
and medium-quality common wheat and for barley that will replace the existing ceiling system. The new
arrangements have been negotiated with the Union’s trading partners in line with the provisions made by
Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. External protection is re-established but all
suppliers’ possibilities of exportation to the Community are retained.

For medium and low quality common wheat a quota of 2 981 600 tonnes at EUR 12 tonne duty rate will
be opened. Within it the United States and Canada will have national quotas of 572 000 tonnes and
38 000 tonnes respectively. All other suppliers,
including Ukraine and Russia, will have access to the
balance of 2 371 600 tonnes. Outside the quota bound duty of EUR 95 tonne applies.

For malting barley a quota of 50 000 tonnes a duty of EUR 8/tonne will be opened. Quality criteria and
processing provisions will apply. For other types of barley a quota of 300 000 tonnes duty of EUR 16/
tonne will be opened. Outside the quota the bound duty of EUR 93/tonne applies.

For all other cereals the present system continues whereby customs duties on importation into the Union
are calculated on the basis of the American grain exchange prices considered representative of world
market prices.
