And all the representatives of the industrial organizations from different countries reached the common idea that manufacturers, buyers and consumers should work together to fight against IPR infringement.
CNTAC has set up an active relationship with the Confederation of the German Textile and Fashion Industry for a long time. Following the undersign of MOU on cooperation and IPR protection, the undersign of MOU on the Co-operation in the fields of Environmental Policy and Health Care are seen as the further development of the collaboration between the two organizations.
Based on the MOU, more communication initiatives for both Chinese and German companies can be expected, in particular in the fields of nonwovens and technical textiles.
Another interesting topic during the whole section of signing up is the coming expiration of the textile agreement with EU and the concerns in another “surging export growth” as the first half of 2005 when the textile quota system came to the end.
“We don't see any possibility that the rushing situation will happen again in 2008, because that the 10 categories of textiles limited with the agreement only account for 18% of the exports from China to EU, and the quota based on the agreement for the 10 categories were not fully utilized these years. On the other side, a range of reforms and restructuring has accomplished within China."
"China's textile and apparel sector is on the way of the transition of development pattern from quantity-oriented to quality-oriented. And CNAC has developed the specialized social compliance system for textile and clothing industry, namely CSC9000T,” explained Mr. Sun Huaibin, the Spokesman and Director of Industrial Consulting Department of CNTAC.
