Export Subsidies on Agriculture Product Decrease

Ljubljana, 2 July - As of Tuesday, a decree on export subsidies for agriculture products forsees subsidies for milk and dairy products to come down to the level of the second half of last year's. In the first half of 2003, export subsidies for milk were raised to soothe the negative effects of last year's discovery of banned antibiotic Chloramphenicol in Slovenian milk. The decree will be valid until 31 December.
