Peter Mandelson forces the EU to go naked

Don't throw out that holey stained underwear you were thinking of giving to the homeless for the rough seasons ahead. It may be needed after all.

EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson and his textile-protectionist policy of limiting the amount of clothing coming into the EU from China will likely leave some of us wearing last year's catalogue.

From the Irish Times ...

The situation, described as "a major problem" by the Irish Clothing and
Textile Alliance (ICTA), could see scarcity in many shops including Arnotts,
Clerys, H&M, Zara, Debenhams, House of Fraser, and Marks and Spencer.
