The European Union (EU) will give no import permissions on China-made trousers shipped from July 12, according to the official website of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MOC) on Sunday.

According to a notice sent to the MOC by the German Association of Importers of Finished Goods, the new data released by the European Commission (EC) shows that by 11:55 on August 9, the export volume of trousers made in China to EU had exceeded the maximum of 104,405,000 agreed on June by the two sides.

The spokesman of EC said that the EU will not give any import permissions on China-made trousers shipped since July 12. But those shipped before July 11 can still enter the European market.

Then, after forbidding importing China-made pullovers, the EU blocked trousers import from China.

China and EU reached an agreement on June 11 that EU will stop investigations on ten categories of textile products from China and made consensus on annual growth of exports to the European market for the ten lines of Chinese products limited between 8 percent and 12.5 percent from June 11, 2005 to the end of 2007 on an agreed base quantity.
