EU Recall And Notification Of Textile And Apparel Products

Since the outbreak of the European debt crisis, the EU's foreign trade strategy has presented a new feature, namely, the use of trade policy to force emerging economies to open up the market more so as to protect European enterprises. For example, according to the European Commission's recently issued "modernization" proposal for trade protection tools, the Commission will have the right to file its own case without prior application from EU enterprises. In May 15th, the European Commission announced that it was in principle to decide the "double reverse" investigation of China Telecom products. At the same time, the EU has not relaxed its attention to traditional industries.

According to statistics, the EU RAPEX system issued a total of 487 recall reports in 1~4 months, down 19.23% compared with the same period last year. In the same period, 289 reports were issued to China (excluding Taiwan and Hongkong Special Administrative Region), down 21.25% compared with the same period last year.

In 1~4 month, the EU RAPEX system sent 80 recall notice to Chinese textiles and clothing products, an increase of 1.27% over the same period last year. also textile The proportion of clothing products announced in China has reached a new high in the past six years, accounting for 27.68% of 1~4's textile products.

Sending newspapers to the country: Greece comes from behind

Spain has been the country with the largest number of notified European RAPEX systems for many years, and 48 reports were issued in 1~4. This year, Greece seems to have the momentum of coming from behind, with 47 bulletins and Hungary tied for second place. The number of notifications issued by the top ten countries accounted for 77.82% of the total number of notifications.

Hungary ranked the first among the countries that sent a notice to China, and 34 reports were issued in 1~4, while Spain ranked second in 32 reports. The number of notifications issued by the top ten countries accounted for 77.16% of the total number of notifications.

Hungary and Bulgaria ranked second and third respectively from 18 to 17. The number of notifications issued by the top ten countries accounted for 96.25% of the total number of notifications.

　 Notified country: China tops the list

In 1~4 months, China ranked the first of the 289 countries with the highest number of notifications, more than ten times the number second in Turkey, and this trend has been going on for many years.

Since the beginning of this year, the notified countries have shown some new features:

First, the number of notified multinational products of the same product increased. For example, Greece issued a motor vehicle bulletin, which was notified of Britain, Japan, Turkey and France. In the same period, a motor vehicle briefing was issued by Portugal, and the notified countries were Japan, the United Kingdom and Spain.

Two, since the beginning of this year, the number of notified cases in Hongkong's Special Administrative Region and Taiwan has increased substantially compared with the previous years. In 1~4 months, the number of notified Hongkong Special Administrative Region was 4, and the number of notifications in Taiwan was 6, and the number of notifications in the two regions in 2012 was 3.

　 Notified products: most textiles and clothing.

The two categories of products account for more than 50% of the total number of notifications. 1~4 textiles and clothing products issued 138 in the world, accounting for 28.34% of the total number of notified products. Among them, 80 issued to China, accounting for 57.97% of the total number of textiles and clothing products in the world.

In recent years, trade protectionism has risen due to the continued downturn in the global economic environment. China has become one of the most serious trade remedy countries in the process of growing into a world trading power. In fact, a trade war can only be lost.

In the past 2 years, although the number of notifications of textiles and clothing products exported by China's EU RAPEX system has declined, the proportion of textile and apparel products in all China's notification products has reached a new high in the past six years. It can be seen that the EU's attention to China's textile and clothing has not been increased. This trend should arouse the attention and concern of domestic export enterprises.
