EU Imports of Cotton Bed Linen in January-September 2008
30 December 2008 - EU bed linen imports continued rising in the first three quarters of the year, especially in US$ terms. China took a strong advantage of the removal in quotas while Pakistan further strengthened its leading position. Shipments from Bangladesh surged while still stagnating from India. The European market should be affected by the recession in 2009 but India and Pakistan will benefit from the removal of additional tariffs imposed by Brussels in 2004.
