2005年1月1日,持续了40年的全球纺织品配额制度终于宣告取消,这对纺织品生产大国的中国来说无疑是个福音,中国纺织业理应迎来一个出口的春天。然而,配额取消仅三个月美国和欧盟就对中国纺织品设置种种限制或“特保”措施,以价格为借口对中国产品展开反倾销调查。经过艰难地几轮大战最终达成了中美、中欧纺织品协议。 On January 1, 2005, the global textile quota system that lasted for 40 years has finally been cancelled. This is undoubtedly a boon to China, a major producer of textiles. The Chinese textile industry should usher in an export spring. However, only three months have passed since the quota was lifted, the United States and the European Union have imposed various restrictions or “special protection” measures on Chinese textiles and launched anti-dumping investigations on Chinese products under the pretext of price. After several difficult rounds of battles, China-U.S. and China-EU textile agreements were finally reached.
