VIETNAM: EU Garment Quotas To Be Allocated
Vietnam's garment export quotas to the EU will probably be allocated to manufacturers or put out to tender next year, an unnamed Trade Ministry official was reported as saying on Thursday. According to the Saigon Times Daily, the planned change will allow producers to make better business plans after problems this year when large garment shipments sent to the EU in the first few months triggered quota shortages in later months.
