The textile and clothing sector represents some 15% of manufacturing employment in Poland, a quarter in Lithuania, and nearly 40% in Turkey. And its importance for the new member states and candidate countries was at the heart of discussions at the European Commission conference in Brussels on the future of the textile and clothing industry in an enlarged Europe. Action is required to support the competitiveness of the sector in both the existing and future member states. So EU policy in areas as diverse as trade, economic affairs, structural policies and chemicals needs to be adjusted appropriately, because of the impact they have on the textile and clothing sector, say the conference conclusions.

In many of the new member states, support will be needed for the inevitable intense restructuring and modernisation following accession. Although the only EU legislation specifically directed at textiles and clothing is the directive on textile names, many other more general regulations apply to the sector: 75 relating just to employment and social issues; many in the environment sector- notably the directive on integrated pollution prevention and control; and the still-developing EU rules on chemicals. As a result, some new member states will face serious difficulties in meeting the costs of bringing their legislation in line with the EU rules on environmental protection and health and safety; and investment in transport infrastructure will be needed so that companies in the sector can shift their goods across distances and remain competitive.
