The Textile Sector as a Special GATT Case

Kitty G. Dickerson

Textile trade policy is presented in the context of general trade policy under the international umbrella for trade, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Textile trade policies that exist under the GATT represent a dramatic departurefrom the normal rules developed to coordinate trade in all other sectors. Moreover, textile trade has a long history of participating in world trade with its own set of rules. Since 1961, textile and apparel trade has had its own structures and rules that have existed alongside the rules of the General Agreement. This paper, which has resultedfrom research of both primary and secondary sources on textile trade policy at the global level, traces the development of specialpolicies and structures to manage trade in this sector. Further discussion considers how and why the textile sector is treated as a unique case in global trade. Varying views are presented on whether textiles should continue to receive special treatment or whether this sector should be returned to normal GATT rules applicable to all other sectors.
