VIETNAM: Trade Barriers, Quota Shortages Hit Industry
The Vietnamese Ministry of Trade has revealed that some of this year's quotas for products exported to the EU have nearly been used up. According to officials, by 22 February around 62.9 per cent of the quota for T-shirts and polo shirts had been filled, while for trousers it is as high as 73.5 per cent. By mid-March the shipment of shirts had also reached around half the volume allowed to the market.
