The Chinese government has publicized the enterprises which fail to pay the earnest money for their quantity of textile export license for access to the EU and US in the second round of bidding that took place earlier this year.

The tendering committee would draw back the bid-winning quantity of these enterprises and call off their bidding qualification on related categories in 2006 and 2007 in accordance with related regulations in Measures on Export Commodity Quota Bidding and Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Bidding for Quantity of Export License of Textiles.

The full list consisting of more than 9,000 items is available from the web site of the Ministry of Commerce. Enterprises who disagree with the committee´s decision may file an appeal by July 21.
