BGMEA welcomes US bill on RMG

Tuesday, 23 October 2007


The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) Monday welcomed the new US bill "the new partnership for development for act-2007", reports BSS.
US Congressman McDermott placed the bill at the US Senate proposing free access of goods from the least developed countries, a BGMEA press release said.
If the bill is passed, Bangladesh will get scope for duty-free access of its readymade garments (RMG) to the US market.
A BGMEA delegation led by BGMEA President Anwarul-ul-Alam Chowdhury (Parvez) will visit the US on October 27 to meet Congressmen and others to obtain their support for the bill.
