China's textile and garment exports to the EU add the new "threshold"

Recently, the EU announced that it will be a total ban on imports of textile products which containing environmental hormones. China's textile and garment exports to the EU suffered a new "threshold". In fact, the information from the China Textile Association, the first three quarters of this year, China's textile and garment export product recall cases occurred frequently.  From January to September the EU Rapid Alert System for non-food (PAPEX) issued Bulletin 236 of China textile and apparel products, an increase of 81.54% over the same period last year.

Surge in the number of textile recall

November 30, 2012, the EU Rapid Alert System for non-food (RAPEX) issued a consumer warning for "Lusa Kids" Children T-shirt which made ​​in China. Informed as the case of Slovakia, informed that widget easily separated from the T-shirt, once swallowed by children, there is the risk of causing the suffocation. Currently, the importer / distributor has to take voluntary measures to stop selling the goods.

China Textile Industry Association data show that the first three quarters of this year, the EU RAPEX system issued a circular on China's textile and garment products 236, an increase of 81.54% over the same period last year, the growth is evident. These products, a considerable part of the active or passive withdrawal from the market, or recall of products, some products which have not yet entered the EU market were refused to import directly by customs.

The reason why China's textile and garment products have been repeatedly informed of the recall, pundits will be summarized in four aspects: Part of the export garment existence of quality and safety issues; Product quality reached standards and but inaccurate data by importing country testing organizations; China's export products standards and international standards are inconsistent; The export enterprise information asymmetry.

Exports has the "threshold"

The EU will be a total ban on imports of textile products in containing environmental hormones, this policy so that the products of the textile and garment exports to the EU suffered a new " threshold ".

The environmental hormone problems in the textile and garment gained world concern. China Textile Industry Association latest public announcement pointed out that the European Union is expressly prohibited nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (NPE) and nonylphenol (NP) which used in the textile manufacturing industry.

The Swedish chemicals Administration submitted to the European Chemicals Agency in August of this year, the "prohibit containing NPE textile imports to the EU", which eventually led to the European Union a total ban on the sale on the market of textile products containing NPE.

Analysts suggested that, in the case of the current weak demand on the international market, the textile and garment enterprises do not easily give up the EU market when encounter this threshold , should find ways to actively respond. Enterprises not only to be highly concerned about the changes in the new EU requirements and implementation time to prepare for it in advance, to strengthen the control of sources of raw materials, adopt cleaner production technologies, but also with eco-friendly alternative surfactant NPE gradually abandoned the traditional way of water washing textiles.
