United Kingdom Textile And Clothing Industries
EDM number 415 in 1990-91, proposed by Max Madden on 05/02/1991.
That this House urges Her Majesty's Government to ensure that, in the event of continuation of the GATT Uruguay Round talks beyond their scheduled completion date, appropriate steps are taken to extend the term of the current Multi-Fibre Arrangement so as to maintain an orderly framework for world trade in textiles and clothing and to protect the interests of the 480,000 people employed in these industries in the United Kingdom; moreover, calls upon Her Majesty's Government to modify the UK/EEC negotiating position by pressing for (1) strengthened anti-dumping rules and safeguard mechanisms which would allow for selective action to be implemented when the threat of injury and disruption to the United Kingdom textile and clothing industries is identified, (2) the inclusion of a social development clause recognising basic International Labour Organisation standards to improve working conditions in exporting countries and (3) improved market access and harmonisation of textile tariffs not only to heavily protected markets of the developing countries but also to developed countries such as the USA who have excessive tariff barriers against UK/ EEC produced textile goods.
This motion has been signed by a total of 81 MPs.
