Regarding the capacity to cope with competitive pressure and market within the Union, the textile and clothing sectors in the CC have seen severe restructuring bringing considerable reduction in employment. Under situation, when the sector restructuring keeps advancing, it is necessary to encourage research and technology development of the sector, not least because of t he fact that one of their main competitive advantages - lower labour costs - is bound to decrease over time.

On basis of this analysis will be chosen according to predermined criteria the subjects suitable for participation in projects FP, which will be addressed with aim to find out their real interest in participation. At the interesting persons in participation ranged between SMEs will be accomplished the technological audit in order to identify real possibilities of the enterprise engagement in programs of research and development.
