ANALYSIS OF SWEDISHI CASE
Annex
Anoraks
Swedish production of synthetic anorako
nearly doubled Letween 1965 and 1968. Exports
increased six-fold. Imports increased five-fold
und by 1968 exceeded production. The only
evidence of injury to the domestic industry is
tho drop of 9 per cent in production in 1908.
Ren' o anorako were restricted last summer,
Hovertheless, production fell and imports
increased. Hong Kong's share of imports was
less than half, Women's anerako were not
restricted until February, 1969. Production of
these increased almost as fast as imports and in
this case liong Kong had an even greater share of
the trade.
2.
The injury caso would look better if cotton
anoraks were included, but the control on these is
to be removed!
3.
Imports from Portugal increased very rapidly
in 1968 and are bound to go on increasing if
rostrictions are imposed on llong Kong.
(The
Swedish duty on synthetics is high).
