Agro Perspective (Kyiv) As to letter of Oleksandr Moroz
(SPU leader),
addressed to President Viktor Yushchenko, Socialist Party of Ukraine
(SPU) is against Cabinet proposal of meat import duties lowering down to
10%.
SPU is convinced in case entry duty gets curtailed down to 10%
Ukrainian market will become overstocked with cheap meat of dubious origin,
resulting in most domestic agricultural companies bankruptcy.
As to SPU, there is an alternative domestic market protective
system with usage of combined customs clearance (being presently
practiced in EU). This system implies the same goods may be imposed
different duties upon (either as goods cost percentage or as goods weight,
volume or quantity percentage), depending on market situation.
Besides, SPU suggests it is necessary to stimulate domestic producers by
cheap
crediting/flexible taxation implementing as well as regulating import
quotes to equalize domestic market imported/Ukrainian goods prices.
As to SPU, presently VR has draft Law stipulating 300.000t
meat import quote introduction.
