US embassy cable - 04ABUDHABI1823

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT:  END OF TEXTILE QUOTAS - UAE REQUEST FOR 
INFORMATION 
 
1.  This is an action request.  Please see para. 3. 
 
2. Ministry of Economy and Commerce Office Director Ali Al- 
Fayel contacted EconChief on May 26 to ask about the U.S. 
plans for lifting textile quotas at the end of 2004.  In a 
follow on letter, the Ministry formally requested 
information on USG plans to lift its quotas on textiles and 
on the system that will replace quotas.  The Ministry noted 
that the end of 2004 is approaching and requested the 
information in order to take the "appropriate action" to 
develop the textile industry.  The Ministry also asked 
whether the USG is making any special arrangement to deal 
with China after the lifting of quotas, since China is more 
competitive than many other WTO members in the field of 
textiles and apparel. 
 
3. Action Request:  Please provide us with any information 
that we can share with the UAEG on this subject.
