production.The first two quarters were ratherslow,but as a result of new orders from Asia,our production rose dramatically inthe third and fourth quarter.This situation was reflected,of course,in our salesfor last year.We started the year in a strong position,but in the second quarterworldwide sales fell sharply.This was a result of the high price of oil.However,asI mentioned earlier,new orders from Asia meant that sales went up to their previouslevel by the end of the year.Looking now at the share price,I am delighted to announcethat last year was also an excellent year in this respect.The share price rosesteadily for the first two quarters,and it remained steady at its maximum for therest of the year,All in all,last year was a very positive year3.4 Exam spotlight,Listening Test Part

controls.The European Union6/32should protect European industry-people like me and my factory workers.We cantproduce clothing at the prices the Chinese charge.I employ a small number ofpeople,its true,but they depend on me.Where else could they work around here?Mymessage to Mr Mandelson is this:stop the Chinese imports,support European producers.PresenterPresenter But its a different message from the retail clothing chain Tulip.Listento what Dagmar Rasmussen has to say.DagmarDagmar We in the retail trade really think we should import garments from China,orfrom Malaysia,or from any country that can supply us at a good price.Why shouldthe European Union tell us where and how to do business?We are not at all happy withthis situation.Our shops could be almost completely empty next week.What are wegoing to say to our customers?The European Trade Commissioner should act at once,andpermit the clothes to leave the warehouses and to stock our shops.Really,this cantgo on!4.2 Views on
