Abstract: This report describes policies that affect the agricultural sector in 38 countries in Europe and the former Soviet Union, including policies that affect commodity and input prices, the activities of parastatals (Government-owned companies), and the integration of the economies in Europe and the former Soviet Union. To facilitate understanding of the policy choices made in each country, this report also presents data on each country's economy, trade flows, and resource base. Governments (especially the former Soviet Union and Central and Eastern Europe) are reducing their role in agricultural markets by reducing or eliminating tariff and nontariff barriers to trade, the scope of parastatal activities, and/or budgetary transfers to agriculture.
