The Board of Government of the National Textile Association, meeting in New York, New York, on Thursday, March 8, 2007,

VOTED:

Recognizing the severe market disruption due to the differing global tax systems, such as the value added tax (VAT) used by every major trading partner, the National Textile Association supports efforts, including the Border Tax Equity Act, to address this tax inequity, and directs the NTA staff to study these issues and report to the Board for further specific actions.
