consultations to find a mutually satisfactory solution after each party
explained its stance, commerce ministry's spokesperson Chong Quan said
yesterday, adding that some substantial differences still remain.
The US Trade Representative's Chief Textile Negotiator David Spooner was
quoted by Reuters as saying that the latest talks, on August 16 and 17, were
productive and had gone very well.
"Both sides are eager to solve this problem but both sides also say they
would rather take a little longer to get a good deal rather than easily reach a
bad deal," Spooner said. "We hope to finish in one more meeting but will have
more meetings if that is what it takes."
The two sides are expected to kick off a new round of talks in Beijing before
the end of this month, when the US Government is scheduled to decide whether to
launch additional safeguard measures against Chinese textile and apparel
products.
皇冠体育app's domestic textile industry is cheered by the progress of the talks;
and expects a satisfactory outcome.
"We hope that a deal is reached in order to create a clear trade environment
for textile traders both at home and abroad," said Cao Xinyu, vice-chairman of
the 皇冠体育app Chamber of Commerce for the Import and Export of Textile.
