Mexican textilers join Turkish
The Mexican National Chamber of Textile Industry (CANAINTEX), the Istanbul Textile and Apparel Exporters Association (ITKIB), the American Manufacturing Trade Action Coalition (AMTAC) and the American Textile Manufacturers Institute (ATMI) all believe that unlimited access by China to global textile and apparel markets will result in massive job disruption and business bankruptcies in dozens of countries dependant upon textile and clothing trade. And they are asking the WTO to extend the textile and clothing quota phase-out process until 31 December 2007.
"It is essential that the WTO acts quickly to prevent China from taking over the textile and clothing trade and threatening hundreds of thousands of jobs Mexican jobs. CANAINTEX will wholeheartedly support this effort", said CANAINTEX.
