                    [Summary] => The 2005 quota phase-out of garments is currently being looked upon with much interest and, indeed, with some fear.  Introduced by developed countries in the 1960s, it  was meant to protect domestic production in developed countries by limiting the amount of textiles and clothing coming from low-income countries. In time, the quota worked by imposing limits on such manufacturing giants as China while giving less-developed countries a chance to carve out their own place in the industry.
