HONG KONG °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ MINISTERIAL 2005: BRIEFING NOTES
STATISTICS Textiles and Clothing
After more than forty years of trade with import quotas, the textiles and clothing sector eventually be-came subject to the general rules of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ from January 1, 2005. Protection of the textile and clothing sector has a long history. In 1962, a Long-term Agreement regarding International Trade in Cotton Textiles (LTA) was signed under the auspices of GATT. The LTA was renegotiated several times until it was replaced by the Multi Fibre Agreement (MFA) which came into force in 1974. The MFA was negotiated four times and it finally expired in 1994. The expiration of the MFA did not, however, mean the end of the quotas. With the establishment of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ in 1995, the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC) was negotiated as a transitory regime to the full integration of textiles and clothing into the multi-lateral trading system. Four countries had been restricting their imports of textiles and clothing (Canada, the EU, Norway and the United States). The integration took place in four steps over a ten year period, ending on 31 December 2004.

Since the beginning of 2005, imports from previously restricted suppliers increased sharply in the US and the EU. The import increases have been particularly strong from China which led to the imposition of new limitations on Chinese textiles and clothing exports to the United States and the EU. The legal basis for this new selective quantitative restrictions on Chinese exports are in the Report of the Working Party on the Accession of China which is annexed to China's Protocol of Accession to the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ.
