US, China said to reach textile deal

八輪談判終于修成"正果",中美已就紡織品達(dá)成一個(gè)暫時(shí)性協(xié)議:美國(guó)對(duì)中國(guó)紡織品的配額限制將要持續(xù)到2008年,限制的數(shù)量涉及30種中國(guó)紡織品和服裝,涉及紡織品每年的增長(zhǎng)率將被限制在10% 至17%。

The United States and China have reached a tentative agreement to limit imports of Chinese clothing and textile products into the United States, U.S. industry officials said Saturday.

These officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal has not yet been announced, said it could be signed as early as Tuesday when U.S. Trade Representative Rob Portman and Chinese officials will be in Geneva.

They said that the tentative deal was reached during the eighth round of discussions, which took place over the past week in Washington. Both sides agreed on the major issues, they said, and discussions were continuing on details.

The deal would be similar to an agreement China reached with the 25-nation European Union earlier this year. However, in a victory for U.S. manufacturers, the deal would last through 2008, one year longer than the EU agreement.

U.S. textile and apparel companies and their labor unions have been pushing for a comprehensive deal to stem a flood of Chinese imports that began last January when global quotas, in place for more than three decades, were lifted.

The Bush administration has been reimposing quotas, known as "safeguards," for individual categories of clothing and textiles. The industry wanted a comprehensive deal covering all threatened categories of U.S. production and lasting for three years. The safeguard quotas were only good for a year at a time.

The tentative agreement would allow for imports of most clothing and textile categories covered by the deal to increase by 8 to 10 percent in 2006, by around 13 percent in 2007 and by around 17 percent for 2008.

All of these percentages would be above the 7.5 percent growth allowed under the safeguard procedures.

U.S. retailers had said they would reluctantly go along with a comprehensive deal as long as the growth in imports was sufficient to allow them to obtain reliable supplies.

Laura E. Jones, executive director of the United States Association of Importers of Textiles and Apparel, which represents American retailers, said that many of the quotas imposed under the safeguard process filled up so quickly this year that retailers were left scrambling to find alternate sources of supply.

"When you place your orders, you need to know that it will not be a race to the dock with no certainty you will get your shipments," Jones said.

Portman and Chinese officials will be in Geneva on Tuesday and Wednesday for talks at the World Trade Organization on a global trade deal. He is scheduled to meet Nov. 14 in Beijing with Chinese Commerce Minister Bo Xilai.

That is one of a number of stops Portman is making to try to build momentum for the Doha Round of global trade negotiations and critical upcoming meetings of trade ministers in Hong Kong in December.

Portman's stop in Beijing will come just a few days before President Bush is scheduled to visit China.
