On the issue of "a target=" _blank "href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/ "> textile > /a > product area, the US plateau requires the adoption of the" yarn start "(yarn forward) criterion, but at the same time, the elastic clause is introduced to make a list of" supply and demand shortage "(short supply) of the yarn and cloth textiles. The member states can purchase from the countries outside the region, and the products can be enjoyed by us.

Vietnam, one of the members of P TPP, is the second largest supplier of garment suppliers in the United States, after China.

However, the yarn and cloth products used by Vietnam are mainly dependent on imports from China and other Asian countries. Their development in this respect is not yet mature. It is not easy to comply with the "yarns starting" criterion. Therefore, the contents of the list of supply shortages will have an important impact on the Vietnamese garment industry.

P, however, the United States intends to introduce a "supply shortage" list in TPP, which also inspires a lot of rebound in the mainland. It worries that it will damage the interests of the US textile industry and benefit the mainland indirectly.

Among them, the United States National Textile Organization Association (NCTO), the most active group, was merged with the other two major industry organizations, the National Textile Association (NTA) and the American Manufacturing Trade Action Association (AMTAC). One of the main objectives is to bring pressure to the US government on the rules of origin of the TPP tableland.

< p > in fact, more than a year ago, there was an international organization called "Textile and Apparel Alliance for TPP" (TAAT). Its membership includes a number of textile companies covering 30 countries (including the United States, Mexico and many countries in central and South America, Africa and the Middle East), and NCTO is one of them.

The TAAT was set up to urge the US government to lay down strict rules for the origin of textiles, including the yardstick of yarn starting and the process of lengthening the duty free process for sensitive textiles. Otherwise, it will jeopardize the employment and export of textile workers in these countries.

< p > there is still a lot of resistance to the implementation of TPP textile origin regulations.
