restrictions for cotton and cotton products, India has put an end to its
export restrictions for cotton yarn. The export of cotton yarn had been
restric-ted by quantitative limits since 22 December 2010 with the level
being fixed at 720 million kilograms for the financial year 2010-11. As
India is one of the main EU import sources for cotton products, these
measures have seriously affected EU industry. On 31 March 2011, the Indian
Government published a notification (No. 49 (RE-2010)/2009-14) removing
the restrictions on export of cotton yarn with effect from 1 April 2011.
Export contracts will still have to be registered with the Directorate
General for Foreign Trade. For more information please <a
