Traduction de «vêtement pour forte silhouette » (Français → Anglais) :

Moreover, European producers are world leaders in markets for technical/industrial textiles and non-wovens (for example industrial filters, geotextiles, hygiene products, or products for the automotive industry or the medical sector), as well as for high quality garments with a high design content.

At the same time, these countries are faced with a situation where, partly because of current rules of origin, a substantial part of their garment exports to the EU does not qualify to benefit from any tariff reduction - whilst their largest developing country competitors can benefit from tariff reductions because their products qualify for such treatment thanks to a greater integration of their textile and clothing sector.

a)first, because of the very important dependence of Southern and Eastern Mediterranean countries on the EU market for their exports and employment (up to 95% of their textiles and clothing exports go to the EU); b)second, because of the close relationship between EU TC industry and the TC industry of those countries, via investment and subcontracting relationships.

There is no commitment to an early phase-out of textiles and garment quotas because of strong resistance from the United States.

The Commission has taken the view that the transaction is not such as to create or to strengthen either an individual or a collective dominant position: - As regards individual dominance, the Commission has come to this conclusion since it considers that, although the shares of the relevant market (Western Europe) that will be held by the new entity (Nylstar + Nordfaser) will be 42%, the presence on the market of dynamic competitors, and especially Du Pont, the world leader in TNF, and the general characteristics of the market will not lead to the creation of a dominant position; - As regards collective dominance, the Commission takes the view that, given the structural characteristics of the market: . significant overcapacity that will re ...[+++]main after the transaction has taken place; . wide variety of TNF products; . marked price sensitivity of the demand for TNF attributable to imports of low-cost textiles and clothing; . absence of any preferential long-term link between the supplier and customers; the transaction will neither create nor strengthen a collective dominant position.

Its reasoning was that: (a) the joint venture's share of the Community market, although significant, will be less than 50%, and the presence of dynamic competitors, especially DuPont, the world leader in PTY, and the general characteristics of the market will prevent the creation of an individual dominant position; (b) that, given the structural characteristics of the market - significant overcapacity, which will be left unchanged by the transaction; diversity of PTY products; PTY demand very price- sensitive owing to imports of cheap textiles and clothing; no long- term special links between supplier and customers - the transaction ...[+++]will not create or strengthen a collective dominant position.
