Notes

  1. 1.

    The original intent of the German law is to protect consumer health rather than protecting trade (so-called green protectionism). From a positive perspective, the German law has to some degree also promoted environmental protection in the textile industry in India. But it has also brought about some obstacles to India’s textile trade. Before the law was enacted and during its implementation, Germany did not fully consider providing necessary and relevant information, technical assistance as well as any special treatment to developing countries. To a large extent, these are the factors that have brought about some obstacles to textile exports from developing countries including India.
