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>

The UK\u2019s World Trade Organisation (WTO) commitments are currently set out within the EU\u2019s schedules. We are developing UK-specific schedules that will replicate the EU\u2019s 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>

The EU currently has a \u20ac72 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>
