CHAPTER I: OVERVIEW OF EVFTA, EU TEXTILE MARKET,
VIETNAM TEXTILE AND GARMENT INDUSTRY
1.1 OVERVIEW OF EVFTA
1.1.1 Definition of EVFTA
The EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) is a new generation FTA between
Vietnam and 28 European Union member states.
It is a comprehensive and high-quality agreement which ensures balanced benefits for

both Vietnam and the EU, with consideration for the differences in development levels
between the two sides.
Upon entering into force, the EVFTA is expected to be a huge boost to Vietnam's exports,
helping to diversify markets and exports, particularly agricultural and aquatic products as
well as Vietnamese products with competitive advantages.
1.1.2 Aspects of EVFTA

The EVFTA is a win-win trade deal with balanced benefits for both Vietnam and the EU
which complies with the provisions of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
The agreement includes 17 chapters, two protocols and several attached memorandums,
with main contents covering the following aspects.
- Trade in goods
- Services, investment liberalisation and e-commerce
- Government procurement
- Intellectual property rights
The EVFTA also covers other aspects including rules of origin, customs and trade
facilitation, sanitary and phytosanitary measures, technical barriers to trade, sustainable
development, cooperation and capacity building, and legal-institutional issues.
1.1.3 Effects of EVFTA

The elimination of tariff barriers will be at the highest level, which will benefit exports of
both sides.
After the trade deal takes effect, the EU will eliminate about 85.6% of import tariffs on
Vietnamese goods, equivalent to 70.3% of Vietnam’s revenue from exports to the EU.
Within seven years of the deal taking effect, EU will remove 99.2% of tariffs, equivalent
to 99.7% of Vietnam’s revenue from exports to the EU.
Regarding the remaining 0.3% of Vietnam’s export revenue, EU pledged to provide

Vietnam with tariff-rate quota, with the import tax rate set at 0% within the quota.
For EU exports, Vietnam committed to truncate 48.5% of tariff lines immediately after
the agreement comes into force (accounting for 64.5% of import revenue). After seven
years, 91.8% of the tariff lines, equivalent to 97.1% of EU export revenue, will be
removed by Vietnam.
After 10 years, about 98.3% of the tariff lines (accounting for 99.8% of import turnover)
will be cut. For the remaining 1.7% of the tariff lines, Vietnam will apply tariff-rate quota
under WTO commitments or a special roadmap to remove tariffs.
1.1.4 The importance of the deal

The level of commitment in the EVFTA is the
highest level that Vietnam has reached among
signed FTAs so far. This is of great
importance to Vietnam as only 42% of
Vietnam’s exports to the EU enjoy a 0% tax
rate under the Generalised Scheme of
Preferences (GSP).
In 2018, the EU was the second largest export market of Vietnam
The strong commitments on market opening in the EVFTA will certainly promote
Vietnam - EU trade relations, helping to further expand the market for Vietnamese
exports.
With the commitments to abolish nearly 100% of import duties as agreed by the two
sides, there are huge opportunities to increase the export of Vietnamese products such as
garments and textiles, footwear, agricultural and seafood products (including rice, sugar,
honey, and vegetables), wood products, and others.
According to the Vietnam Ministry of Planning and Investment, the EVFTA will help
raise Vietnam's revenue from exports to the EU by about 20% by 2020; 42.7% by 2025
and 44.37% by 2030. In addition, Vietnam’s imports from the EU will also increase but at
a lower rate than exports, at about 15.28% by 2020; 33.06% by 2025 and 36.7% by 2030.
The EVFTA is also expected to raise Vietnam's GDP by an average of 2.18-3.25% per
year in the 2019-2023 period; 4.57-5,30% in the 2024-2028 period and 7.07-7.72% in the
2029-2033 period.
Moreover, commitments on services, investment, government procurement as well as
specific regulations on market opening and technical measures in some specific areas will
also create opportunities for EU enterprises, products and services to have better access to
the Vietnamese market of nearly 100 million people. Meanwhile, Vietnamese consumers
will have easier access to high quality products and services from the EU in the areas of
pharmaceuticals, health care, infrastructure construction, and public transportation, among
others.
Commitments on state governance will also ensure a stable and open business and legal
environment for investors of both sides.
Through the EVFTA and the Investment Protection Agreement (IPA), EU investors will
have opportunities to gain access to markets that have signed FTAs with Vietnam with
more preferential treatment. The agreements also help to promote relations between the
EU and each ASEAN country and the ASEAN bloc at large, creating a foundation
towards negotiating an FTA between the EU and ASEAN in the future.
1.2 OVERVIEW OF EU MARKET AND CURRENT STATUS OF

VIETNAM'S TEXTILE AND GARMENT EXPORT TO EU
Although the EU is the largest textile and apparel importer in the world, the EU is also the
second largest textile and garment exporter in the world, after China, accounting for 24%
of the world's textile and apparel export turnover. EU countries import apparel from
developing countries and re-export to other EU countries themselves. Therefore, EU
textile and apparel exports within the EU account for more than 40.1% of total imports of
this market, about 60% of the remaining imports come from non-EU countries, mainly
from EU countries. develope.
Among developing countries exporting to the EU, China, Turkey and Bangladesh are the
three countries with the largest export market share to the EU, accounting for nearly 36%
of total imports worth US $ 100 billion.
Although China holds the largest market share, nearly 20% on the EU market, in the past
5 years, the double growth rate - CAGR of China's exports to the EU decreased by 0.1%,
while Bangladesh, Pakistan increased by 10%, Vietnam increased by 9%, especially
notably Cambodia increased by 17% (from USD 2.8 billion in 2013 to USD 6.3 billion in
2018).
Except for China as a "big player" in the industry, other countries such as Bangladesh,
Cambodia or Pakistan all have an outstanding advantage of import tax incentives
compared to Vietnam when exporting to the EU. Bangladesh and Cambodia are exempted
from the import tax regime under the EBA program (which stands for Everything but
Arm program - Exemption from all commodities except weapons), Pakistan is also
exempt from import tax under the GSP + program. Although Vietnam is also entitled to
the GSP preferential tariff, it is only "Standard GSP - Standard GSP" at 9.6%.
It is clear that the competition among developing countries exporting to the EU is quite
fierce, the application of GSP + and EBA preferential regimes help countries enjoy a
great price advantage compared to the price. Vietnam. This also explains why Vietnam's
export market share in the EU market remains around 2-3%.
Although the growth rate of dual export in the past 5 years has increased by nearly 9%,
the proportion of textile exports to the EU in the total textile and garment export turnover
to the world of Vietnam in the past 5 years has decreased from 17.1%. in 2015 to 16.3%
in 2019.
