| Summary: | The EU has threatened to suspend Generalized Scheme of Preferences (GSP) status for Myanmar, under which the country’s exports can enter Europe without any tariffs or "as. The official reason cited by the EU is a growing concern over human rights violations and issues around labour rights in Myanmar. If this threat were to be carried out, the business sector that will be most affected is Myanmar’s burgeoning garment sector, which employs around 700,000 people, most of whom are women. The principal worry in Myanmar is that if EU buyers and brands have to start paying tariffs to import Myanmar-made garments, then they will opt to shift their sourcing to other countries. Without GSP, Myanmar’s garment exports may no longer be price competitive. As one of the few manufacturing sectors in Myanmar to employ semi-skilled women, many of whom migrated from poor rural areas, the garment sector has come to play an important socioeconomic role in the country. Whether or not the EU decides to withdraw GSP status, Myanmar’s garment sector faces a number of challenges. How Myanmar’s policymakers and garment industry leaders respond to global industry trends will be just as important, in the long run, in determining the sector’s commercial sustainability |

Freeman Singapore ISEAS Publishing [2019] © 2019 1 online resource txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Trends in Southeast Asia 2019, 7 Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 14. August 2020) The EU has threatened to suspend Generalized Scheme of Preferences (GSP) status for Myanmar, under which the country’s exports can enter Europe without any tariffs or "as. The official reason cited by the EU is a growing concern over human rights violations and issues around labour rights in Myanmar. If this threat were to be carried out, the business sector that will be most affected is Myanmar’s burgeoning garment sector, which employs around 700,000 people, most of whom are women. The principal worry in Myanmar is that if EU buyers and brands have to start paying tariffs to import Myanmar-made garments, then they will opt to shift their sourcing to other countries. Without GSP, Myanmar’s garment exports may no longer be price competitive. As one of the few manufacturing sectors in Myanmar to employ semi-skilled women, many of whom migrated from poor rural areas, the garment sector has come to play an important socioeconomic role in the country. Whether or not the EU decides to withdraw GSP status, Myanmar’s garment sector faces a number of challenges. How Myanmar’s policymakers and garment industry leaders respond to global industry trends will be just as important, in the long run, in determining the sector’s commercial sustainability In English International Economics BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / International / Economics bisacsh Clothing trade / Burma Clothing workers / Legal status, laws, etc / Burma Außenhandel (DE-588)4003832-4 gnd rswk-swf Bekleidungsindustrie (DE-588)4005382-9 gnd rswk-swf Burma / Foreign relations / European Union countries European Union countries / Foreign relations / Burma Myanmar (DE-588)1193111315 gnd rswk-swf Myanmar (DE-588)1193111315 g Bekleidungsindustrie (DE-588)4005382-9 s Außenhandel (DE-588)4003832-4 s DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-981-4843-62-1 Trends in Southeast Asia 2019, 7 (DE-604)BV046060706 2019, 7 https://doi.org/10.1355/9789814843638 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
