An Inquiry Into Textile Tariffs
In 1989, the Tribunal was asked to conduct an investigation on how to reduce textile tariffs to levels which would be more in line with those of other industrialized countries. The recommendations produced apply to the portions of the textile industry which produce fibres, yarns, fabrics and certain specialty products, and which generally serve as input in the manufacture of other products. This report presents the results of that investigation after public hearings, plant visits and interviews with those involved in the textile industry. The report reviews the structure, performance, competitive factors and future directions of the textile and downstream industries; the international setting, concentrating on such factors as the MFA, VERs and the MTN; analyzes the tariff structures of Canada, the EEC, Japan and the U.S., then shows the actual tariff comparisons focusing in particular on differences in tariffs between Canada and the U.S.; describes the illustrative tariff options developed by the Tribunal staff; then sets out recommendations and the rationale underlying them.
Rules of Origin
This book is an important contribution towards promoting an understanding of the economic implications of preferential rules of origin in textiles and clothing and their impact on international trade in these sectors. For the authors, it has been hard to contest that the design of garment rules of origin in both US and EU preferential arrangements is specifically aimed at protecting domestic textile interests, and only peripherally and incidentally at assisting the developing country beneficiary of the preference arrangement. The articles in this book aim to bring together works that are an exceptional analysis in their own right and studies commissioned by the Commonwealth at the request of developing countries. Apart from the articles, the book contains key legal documents that pertain to rules of origin and trade in textiles and clothing to assist the reader.
