There is considerable turmoil in the textiles and clothing industries as a result of the phasing out of quotas by Canada, Norway, USA and the EU and the ability of China to disproportionately profit from the new freedom of trade. Dealing with the problems requires integrated strategies from the global to local level and cooperation between governments and social partners. To aid this process the ILO is calling a tripartite meeting of governments, employers and workers organisations. This report has been prepared for discussion at that meeting. It looks at the implications of the phasing out of quotas and potential strategies for fair globalization.
