Europe Facing Shortage Of Women's Undies
Advertisements [?]
<snip>

SHOPPERS face a shortage of women's underwear because of new rules to stop cheap Chinese clothing flooding into the European Union.

EU limits on imports from China have left truckloads of bras, sweatshirts and trousers stuck in British ports and warehouses.
The quota measures were enforced by the World Trade Organisation to stop cheap Chinese textiles flooding into the EU after trade barriers were lifted in January.

Under the quota rules, only 70 million items of underwear are allowed into Europe between June and December.
