Ian Hudghton (Verts/ALE
),
The current dispute with China highlights a growing trend, which is making
life difficult for our own textile and knitwear industries.
I supported amendments which would
require that labour standards at sites operated in non-EU countries be
monitored, including at sites outsourced by EU companies.
The ongoing drive towards low-cost
imports should not be an excuse to continue utilising sub-standard
production facilities with unacceptably poor working conditions and wages.
