This report examines trends in EU15 imports and import prices of 12 major product categories: cotton yarn yarn, fibers or filaments formed into a continuous strand for use in weaving textiles or for the manufacture of thread. A staple fiber, such as cotton, linen, or wool, is made into yarn by carding, combing (for fine, long staples only), drawing out into roving, then ; fabrics woven A woven is a cloth formed by weaving. It only stretches in the Bias directions (between the warp and weft directions), unless the threads are elastic. Woven cloth usually frays at the edges, unless measures are taken to counter this, such as the use of pinking shears or hemming. from synthetic staple fibres Noun 1. staple fibre - a natural fiber (raw cotton, wool, hemp, flax) that can be twisted to form yarn; "staple fibers vary widely in length" staple fiber, staple natural fiber, natural fibre - fiber derived from plants or animals ; fabrics woven from synthetic filament filament, in astronomy: see chromosphere. yarn; T-shirts; pullovers; trousers Trousers (or pants in Canada, South Africa and the United States, and sometimes called slacks or breeches — often pronounced /bɹɪtʃɪz/ ; women's blouses; men's shirts; women's overcoats; women's dresses; women's skirts; and women's suits.

Between 2000 and 2005 the average price of textile imports fell by 21% while the price of clothing imports declined by 24%. In 2005, however, the price falls moderated to only 1.2% in textiles and a mere 0.1% in clothing. Nonetheless, EU producers have found it difficult to match lower import prices in the domestic market. At the same time, exports have been hampered by the continuing high value of the euro against the US dollar. As a result, EU15 textile output was down by 4.8% in volume terms in 2005, having fallen by 5.1% in 2004. Clothing production declined by 8.5% in volume, following a 5.7% fall in 2004.
