EU team seeks to end textile row

A team of European Union trade negotiators will fly to China on Wednesday in a bid to resolve the crisis over blocked imports of Chinese textiles, the Financial Times reported. Shipments of shirts, bras and flax yarn have piled up at customs points across the EU at the start of the week, after import limits were exceeded in these categories. Six out of ten categories covered by the textiles agreement reached in June have now breached their quota.
