Recently, the Argentina children's wear Association asked the Arab government to restrict children's clothing imports from China and strengthen the protection of their related industries.

In February 25, 2009, the Argentina people's Daily quoted the figures from the Argentina children's wear Association, chairman of Hugo Ben yucca, that the imports of children's clothing in Argentina in 2008 amounted to $47 million 400 thousand, of which children's clothing from China accounted for 78.4% of imports.

Ben Yucca said that in 2004~2008 years, the children's clothing imported from China increased by 47 times. The production cost of Chinese children's clothing sold in the Argentina market was only 1/2 or even 1/3 of the Argentina manufacturers. Therefore, it has obvious price advantages, resulting in the lower and lower share of Argentina enterprises in the children's wear market.

Ben Yaka also stressed that the "underground garment factory" in Argentina, because of the employment of "black workers" and a large number of tax evasion, is therefore very low in production costs.

Ben Yucca appealed to the Arab government to increase restrictions on imported children's clothing and strike down underground factories to ensure the production and employment of regular children's clothing enterprises.

Fernando, the Secretary of state for Industry and industry in Argentina, said that the Arab government will respond to the requirements of children's clothing enterprises, and at the same time require children's clothing enterprises to ensure stable employment for their employees.
