Textile treaty tightens ties
The agreement lifts all textile and clothing trade restrictions between Ukraine and the bloc, including the abolition of all import and export licensing requirements for textiles. The agreement also perpetuates the favorable trading conditions between the two parties, set out in previous agreements dating back to 1993.
"This agreement is an important step in strengthening and liberalizing the economic and trading relationship between the EU and the Ukraine," said EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson. "It should pave the way for more far-reaching economic links that can benefit both partners."
Ukraine's textiles and clothing exports to the 25 countries that now make up the EU amounted to EUR 472 (zł.2,227) million in 2003. A.K.
