14-05-2008 16:17 Party of Regions to deny support to World Trade Organization bills
The Party of Regions will deny support to the WTO bills submitted by the BYUT faction without elaboration and implementation or appropriate measures to adapt Ukraine's agro-industrial complex to WTO conditions, the party MP Viktor Slauta stressed.
"The situation in Ukraine's agro-industrial complex is rapidly changing. WTO membership protocols were signed in different years, and when the entry agreement was finally signed, the situation radically changed," he noted. In his words, during four months of the current year, Ukraine's agro-industrial complex demonstrated almost zero production rise. 20% of pig population was killed, as well as 11% of cattle. The main financial resource potential of farms continues running out. If by the end of 2007 the index of consumer prices was higher than the index of prices in agriculture, in the four months of the current year only, the resources used by domestic agro-industrial complex became 43.5% more expensive, and the prices of farm produce grew by 113.1%, the MP said. Mr Slauta assured that in this situation the Party of Regions faction cannot back all the five bills proposed by the BYUT faction.
