The Polish parliament or ‘Sejm’ – has just passed a new law which it is hoped will stem the tide of cheap footwear and textile imports entering the country from the Far East.

Under the new ruling, any business sector that considers it is being put at a serious competitive disadvantage by imported goods can call upon the government to impose quotas. As such, it is likely to be of particular interest to the country’s footwear producers, who have seen their industry decimated over the past few years by Far Eastern producers.
