Kalnins, A. (Saeima (Parliament) of the Republic of Latvia, Riga (Latvia))
The unfavourable trend is increasing in Latvian agriculture during the last years: the imports of agricultural production exceed exports, but in the 1998 imports were almost two times bigger than year exports. It is a result of cheep imports from countries where farmer production is supported by state subsidies. Taking into account the current situationn the following domestic market protection mechanisms could be applied: to set antidumping and antisubsidies tariffs on imported food stuffs, custom tariffs, import quotas, to apply strict quality and hygiene requirements on imported food.
