Mandelson to release Chinese ‘bra wars’ garments
Mr Mandelson gave no details of how he proposed to break the deadlock over quotas for textile imports from China, which has led to bras, T-shirts, sweaters, blouses and trousers being stockpiled in customs warehouses.
But he insisted that he could not allow the EU's textiles trading agreement with China to unfairly penalise retailers trying to stock up for the Christmas period and winter sales.
