<p>Our focus is on getting the best deal possible for our farming industry and on
providing stability for farmers as we leave the EU.</p><p> </p><p>The UK’s World Trade
Organisation (WTO) commitments are currently set out within the EU’s schedules. We
are developing UK-specific schedules that will replicate the EU’s current obligations
at the WTO, including a share of the EU allowance for providing domestic support to
agriculture, known as the Aggregate Measurement of Support (AMS).</p><p> </p><p>The
EU currently has a €72 billion allowance for AMS of which it only uses a small portion.
This allowance is in addition to the amount of five per cent of the value of production
which all WTO members are allowed to spend on trade distorting subsidies for agriculture.</p><p>
