MFA which was in the scope of GATT has left its place to “Agreement of Textile and Apparel” (ATC) in 01 January 1995. Turkey which was among the charter members of WTO, has become a member of WTO in 26 March 1995 upon completion of internal approval procedures and WTO’s liabilities which were effective as of 01 January 1995 were considered valid. Consequently, all quotations within textile and apparel zeroized as of 01 January 2005. But, this decision has caused certain countries such as Turkey to experience serious losses in internal and external markets and to run into currency deficits. As a result, WTO has allowed countries to take temporary protective measures in their internal markets until 2008. Thus, Turkey has initiated protective measures against certain countries in this regard}, number={3}, publisher={Ege University}
