Country Examples; ReferencesSubsidy reform has been a key component of the pre-accession reform agenda of the 10 new member states that joined the EU in 2004 (EU-10). During the pre-accession period, these countries had to undertake a number of important structural reforms in their economies. One of the most critical reforms was to reduce, and in some cases, eliminate their subsidy programs. This paper analyzes how key subsidy reforms (in state aid to enterprises, agriculture, energy, and transportation) were carried out in the EU-10 during 1995–2005, and explains observed variations across types of subsidies and across countries. Based on an extensive qualitative analysis, the paper draws lessons for future successful reforms of government subsidies. 32B.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2008/165SubsidiesEuropean Union countriesAgribusinessimfAgricultural lawimfAgricultural PolicyimfAgricultural policyimfAgriculture and stateimfEnergy industries & utilitiesimfEnergy subsidiesimfEnergy: Demand and SupplyimfExpenditures, PublicimfFood PolicyimfGovernment subsidiesimfIndustry Studies: Transportation and Utilities: GeneralimfInfrastructureimfInternational Trade OrganizationsimfMacroeconomicsimfNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralimfPricesimfPublic finance & taxationimfPublic FinanceimfSaving and investmentimfSubsidiesimfTariffimfTariffsimfTaxationimfTrade PolicyimfTransportationimfCzech RepublicimfSubsidiesAgribusinessAgricultural lawAgricultural PolicyAgricultural policyAgriculture and stateEnergy industries & utilitiesEnergy subsidiesEnergy: Demand and SupplyExpenditures, PublicFood PolicyGovernment subsidiesIndustry Studies: Transportation and Utilities: GeneralInfrastructureInternational Trade OrganizationsMacroeconomicsNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralPricesPublic finance & taxationPublic FinanceSaving and investmentSubsidiesTariffTariffsTaxationTrade PolicyTransportation338.9402Segura-Ubiergo Alex1139802Koranchelian Taline1815739Mulas-Granados Carlos502576DcWaIMFBOOK9910973782303321Reforming Government Subsidies in the New Member States of the European Union4371528UNINA
