    During the chronicled years, international trade showed outstanding growth, though not as intense as in 2003. As a rule, the same players are there, though China now has arrived, which confirms its status as a large trading power in its own right. One of the areas where the increase is found is the textile trade, which shows, if ever there was need, the efficiency of Chinese exports. Everything points to regulatory changes linked to the economic changes. But that did not happen and countries are finding it difficult to agree on new rules and relinquish the protection they are used to.

This chronicle shows that, with a review of the negotiations initiated by the Doha cycle and the difficult implementation of textile trade liberalisation.
