E-Malt.com News article: Ukraine: Verkhovna Rada calls back the bill on selling grain export quotas by auctions
Barley news

Ukraine will not realize the auctions for selling grain export quotas, due to the fact that the people's deputy Grigoriy Kaletnik, the author of the Law Project, called the document back, AgriMarket.Info reported on November, 29.

According to him, there is no point in the auctions, due to the distribution of almost all the quota volumes of grains between grain traders, it is reported.

Taking into account the distributed quotas by the Cabinet of Ministers, and also the Intergovernmental agreements of Ukraine for grain supplies to other countries, it will be impossible to export over 0.5-1 mln tonnes due to the current crop volumes, the people's deputy stated, adding that there will be no volumes to sell at the auctions.

As a reminder, the Law Project #7230 dd. October 7, 2010, was introduced for consideration by the people's deputies of Ukraine, by Grigoriy Kaletnik, the Head of the Profile Committee on the Agrarian Policy and Land relations issues.

On November 2, 2010, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine accepted the Law Project #7230 as the base during the first reading.

Previously, Nikholay Prysiazhnyuk, the Minister of Agrarian Policy, stated that during the second half of the current MY Ukraine will be able to export not more than 5 mln tonnes of grains, and the export quotas validity term will be possibly prolonged till the end of the MY (July 1, 2011). The Cabinet of Ministers imposed wheat and rye-wheat mixture (meslin) export quotas at the level of 500 thsd tonnes, maize – 2 mln tonnes, barley – 200 thsd tonnes, rye and buckwheat – by 1 thsd tonnes till the end of December 31, 2010.

At the same time, previously Boris Kolesnikov, the Vice Prime-Minister, stated that the Government will accept the decision to sell the quotas in the auctions. According to him, in the case, all the volume could be purchased by the Japanese enterprises that announced their interest in such situation development during the visit to Ukraine.

Victor Slauta, the Vice Prime-Minister on the Agrarian Policy, and Nikholay Prysiazhnyuk, the Minister of Agrarian Policy of Ukraine, were against selling quotas at the auctions. They stated that the principle may be imposed only in the case of changing the current legislation, and insisted on the quotas distribution in accordance with the historical principle.
