TEA寻求对特殊服装政策的快速通知

蒂鲁巴出口商协会祝贺联盟部长Smriti Irani担任纺织部长，并寻求为提振服装行业出口而实施的600亿特殊政策的指导方针和程序的快速通知。

寻找新任命部长的干预,使他们利用“最早”承诺的好处,TEA主席Dr A Sakthivel表示,除了帮该国生成一千万新的就业，还将帮助他们实现在未来三年内出口目标达到300亿美元的设想。

更新Irani女士对他们的关注,TEA强调了需要有单独10亿卢比的资金用于市场促销活动,主要用于参加印度国内外的国际展会。

目前,通过如市场准入(MAI) 和市场发展援助(MDA) 等方案，商务部只提供6000万卢比用于市场推广活动，TEA在一份新闻稿中说，总数和2015-2016年该部门170亿美元的金额相比微不足道。

TEA还敦促部长推动与巴西和其他28个欧盟国家的自由贸易协定(FTA)或者至少优惠贸易协定(PTA),这个缺乏将导致增加其他服装出口国家的竞争优势，如孟加拉,巴基斯坦和越南。

协会指出，与这些国家以及与加拿大和澳大利亚的特别贸易除了将使印度服装出口增长30%，还将使他们获得失地。
