| Textiles and Clothing:
the End of Discriminatory Protection |
Richard Avisse
Michel Fouquin |
|
The dismantling of the Multi-Fibre Arrangement
by 2005 and China's forthcoming membership of the WTO, as the world's largest
exporter of clothing, will alter profoundly international competition in textiles
and clothing. A simulation of these two components of trade liberalisation makes
it possible to identify the broad scale of the shocks which
are likely to affect production and world trade. The results show how Asian competition
could well bring into question the regionalisation of trade, which has emerged
around the United States and the European Union, favouring a system of differentiated
protection protection. |
