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. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2008/165 606 $aSubsidies$zEuropean Union countries 606 $aAgribusiness$2imf 606 $aAgricultural law$2imf 606 $aAgricultural Policy$2imf 606 $aAgricultural policy$2imf 606 $aAgriculture and state$2imf 606 $aEnergy industries & utilities$2imf 606 $aEnergy subsidies$2imf 606 $aEnergy: Demand and Supply$2imf 606 $aExpenditures, Public$2imf 606 $aFood Policy$2imf 606 $aGovernment subsidies$2imf 606 $aIndustry Studies: Transportation and Utilities: General$2imf 606 $aInfrastructure$2imf 606 $aInternational Trade Organizations$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General$2imf 606 $aPrices$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aSaving and investment$2imf 606 $aSubsidies$2imf 606 $aTariff$2imf 606 $aTariffs$2imf 606 $aTaxation$2imf 606 $aTrade Policy$2imf 606 $aTransportation$2imf 607 $aCzech Republic$2imf 615 0$aSubsidies 615 7$aAgribusiness 615 7$aAgricultural law 615 7$aAgricultural Policy 615 7$aAgricultural policy 615 7$aAgriculture and state 615 7$aEnergy industries & utilities 615 7$aEnergy subsidies 615 7$aEnergy: Demand and Supply 615 7$aExpenditures, Public 615 7$aFood Policy 615 7$aGovernment subsidies 615 7$aIndustry Studies: Transportation and Utilities: General 615 7$aInfrastructure 615 7$aInternational Trade Organizations 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General 615 7$aPrices 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aSaving and investment 615 7$aSubsidies 615 7$aTariff 615 7$aTariffs 615 7$aTaxation 615 7$aTrade Policy 615 7$aTransportation 676 $a338.9402 700 $aSegura-Ubiergo$b Alex$01139802 701 $aKoranchelian$b Taline$01815739 701 $aMulas-Granados$b Carlos$0502576 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973782303321 996 $aReforming Government Subsidies in the New Member States of the European Union$94371528 997 $aUNINA
