9-Principal Importers
Germany , Italy , and the United Kingdom together account for 45% of the total import value. It should be kept in mind that there is currently a slump in the carpet industry, especially due to the following factors :
-- competition from low-priced mass-produced carpets
-- the decline in European housing construction.
