And now for the business news from Susan Fleming. Today's headline is that China and the European Union have just announced that an end to the clothing blockade has been agreed. Millions of fashion items are sitting in ports around Europe, where they have been since import restrictions were introduced in June. Today, however, both sides in the dispute have reached an agreement and the clothes will be in the shops soon. The EU will accept all of the 80 million items. However, only 50% of these items are part of this year's imports. The other 50% will be part of next year's import quotas. China agreed to the solution which is a compromise on both sides. The agreement is a victory for Peter Mandelson, the EU trade commissioner.
下面由苏珊·弗莱明为您播送商业新闻。 今天的头条是中国和欧盟宣布就解除服装封锁达成共识。数以万计的时尚产品自六月的进口管制条例发布后在港口滞留,然而现在争辩的双方已经协商一致,滞留服装也能很快进入商铺了。欧盟将接受所有的8000万件商品,但是今年只接收50%,剩下的50%属于明年的限额。中方也接受了这个双方妥协后的方案。这份协议对欧盟贸易委员皮特·曼德森来说是一场胜利。 (shoellen)
