The calculations are based on 2021 import volumes of products covered by the proposed Regulation in excess of the annual duty-free quota (i.e. 40 tariff rate quotas).

Based on the above calculations the loss of traditional own resources revenue from the proposed Regulation is estimated at EUR 44.5 million (gross amount, including collection costs) x 0,75 = EUR 33.4 million for the period in question.

4. ANTI-FRAUD MEASURES

In order to prevent fraud, the entitlement to the trade measures established by the proposed Regulation should be conditional upon Ukraine having complied with all the relevant conditions for obtaining benefits under the Association Agreement, including the rules of origin of products concerned and the procedures related thereto, as well as Ukraine's involvement in close administrative cooperation with the Union, as provided for by the Association Agreement.
