LITHUANIA: Textile Chiefs Join Apparel Organisation Euratex
The Lithuanian Association of Light Industry Enterprises (LLPIA) has become an associate member of the European Apparel and Textile Organisation (Euratex). The association will become a full member of the Brussels-based group when Lithuania eventually joins the European Union. The Baltic country's light industrial exports topped $684.5 million in the first ten months of this year - around 20 per cent of the country's total exports.
