Halit Narin, the chairman of our trade union, was guest of 'Business Day' program
"Nobody can be oppressed by China and quotas will continue"

Halit Narin, the chairman of our trade union, was guest of Business Day program on TRT 2, on 4th of December. Narin pointed out in the program that the textile, employing a large number of people, is a locomotive sector.
"Nobody in Turkey need to be afraid that quotas will be lifted by 2005, that there will be free trade and Chinese goods will be a barrier in front of us. Quotas definetely will continue because nobody can pull production costs to the level of China" said Narin.
Narin also said that he did not believe that Turkey could become a member of European Union. "I do not think that Turkey can enter EU, so it is not logical for Turkish goverment to give concessions. They won't accept us. As it is impossible for us to enter EU, it is also impossible to lift the quotas.
"If we want to keep balance and improve economy, we should increase the purcha-hing power in low-income class so that economy can grow. The Prime Minister says that the minimum wage must be increased. Then there is only one thing he can do. For we can not increase our costs any more, the burden of our expenses in the SSK payrolls should be lessened. The burden must be halved and that money should be given to our workers" told Narin.
Narin underlined that the export potential in textile was not 10-15 billion dollars but 30 billion dollars.
"However if we want to activate this potential we first need to discipline our economy. Tax is another problem. Taxes encourage corruption. Number of tax payers can be increased buy pulling down tax rates. You can not revive the economy where the state intervention is high. Some serious steps can be taken if the Prime Minister continues his current policy and his enthusiasm, investments can be encouraged only by decreasing taxes. Growth in economy can compensate the decrease and we can find our way out. However, we, the employers, think that Turkey will not be a member of EU. This is nothing more than vain-less efforts. This is not an ideal also. Being a part of EU or not does not differ. Because we are not in Europe but Europe is in us. Europe sells all of its goods to us. Europe can not live without Turkey. Then why do we struggle so hard? I sell my goods to Russia, US and everywhere. So should I need to struggle?" said Narin.
The Chairman also evaluated the next 10 years of textile sector. He completed his speech as follows:
"Nine of ten shops in the streets are selling textile goods. It is impossible in Turkey to be afraid because of the textile sector. Turkey lacks nothing. The governments that believe in the power of entrep-reneurship always have the ability of working. We see that power in our current government."

Narin, put 3000$ national income on debate

Halit Narin, the chairman of our trade union, in his speech in the conference of calculation of national income, stated that they don't believe that national income per capita is 3,000$.
Chairman Narin, mentioned the figures of the neighbour countries that have higher national income. Narin told that in Bulgaria, where there is a closed economy, there are not any plant except one or two textile and tinned-can factories and underlined that there were just one or two foreign investments in Romania.
"As far as those countries' national income figures are concerned, it appears that the figures of Turkey are miscalculated" stated Narin.

The Chairman talked in his speech as follows:

"We have to find out if Turkey is rich or poor, produces or not. This is not a 3,000$ economy, it is a big mistake to show Turkey as such a poor country. Compared with the other countries, for instance, we are better than Portugal, Italy. I even do not make a comparison with Greece. We have to look into where the mistakes are made to consider
Turkey to be worthy of 3000$ of national income. If it is checked you will see that importers are not even subject to income tax. Turkey can improve much if we can struggle against the companies whose imports reach 20-30 billion dollars but do not pay almost any tax, and against the people who consume the foreign exchanges generated by self-sacrifiying investors. Also, 20 percent profit guarantee should be required from the registered imports. I recommend you to go from Istanbul to Edirne, Tekirdag, gorlu or Kirklareli. There are thousands of operating factories besides the hunderds of plants being built. How this economy can worth 3,000$? Therefore, not to show Turkey to world as an economy with 2,000$-3000$ national income per capita, we have to find out where we make mistakes."

"We celebrate 80th aniversary of the Republic founded by the great leader Ataturk with enthusiasm. We wished to prove one more time that we have never forgotten our Ataturk who has marked in our history by saving our invaded country from enemies and has presented the secular Turkish Republic to us and we still follow his principals" said Halit Narin, the chairman of our union, regarding to the subject "I feel happy to offer these pictures made by our union to the people and to the institutions as a present in this meaningful annivesary" stated Narin.

Tarakcioglu: Let's put pressure on EU for China

Dr. Isik Tarakcioglu, the director of TuBiTAK's Textiles Research Centre, said that Turkey should put pressure on European Union to prevent the unfair competition that China causes. Tarakcioglu indicated that China, who will benefit when the quotas will be lifted in 2005, will have a bad impact on Turkish textile sector. Tarakcioglu, citing that Turkish textiles products are in a huge competition with the ones of China within EU, said that Turkey has difficulty in facing this unfair competition with China despite the advantages maintained via its participation to Customs Union. Tarakcioglu added that the participation in the Customs Union will notmean much after the quotas will be lifted and unless any measures are taken China, who ranks before Turkey in textile production, will be the sole player of this market. Tarakcioglu told that this fact lifting quotas will be a hard blow to Turkey has been accepted in european Commission's report titled as "The future of Textile Industry in an Enlarged Europe" and underlined that however Europe seems in a stake to easily sacrifice Turkey.

Inward Processing Regime Certificates to be taken by initial permission

"initial permission" application has begun in the regulation of inside processing permission certifica-te(DIIB). Inside process regime which helps manufacturing exporters to have raw material and income on international market prices, is one of the most important initiatives in exporting. According to the new regulation, manufacturers, exporters and manufacturing exporters will first have to apply to related exporters union to get permission certificate and then apply to Foreign Trade Undersecretary (DTM).

The exporters union will investigate whether the company is really operating in that sector, has SSK debt, employs workers under the rules of SSK and if it uses the material it imports in its own production. The aim of the move is to prevent the goods which are imported without paying customs duty within DIIB, to be used in products to be exported. Because such a move can cause unfair competition in domestic market.The new regulation will also help to prevent employment of unregistered workers.

13,095, almost half of the 26,704 DIIB, prepared between the years 1996 and 2002 were for textile sector according to DTM.

Textile companies closed 9,820 of these 13,095 DIIB and met 84.34 percent (20 billion 611.8 million dollars) of their 24 billion 439.2 million dollars commitment.

On the other hand, 8 billion 526.2 million dollars of the 12 billion 838 million dollars worth import commitment was met. Net exports of the textile companies within DIIB became 12 billion 85.5 million dollars.
