UNB, Dhaka :
US Ambassador in Dhaka Dan W Mozena on Monday said Bangladesh needs to make progress in many areas related to its RMG sector.
“Bangladesh has made tremendous progress in RMG sector and more progress is needed in
critical areas such as many more factory needs to be inspected, labour inspectors to be hired, progress in publicly assessable data base which exists currently,” said Mozena.
He said this while talking to reporters after a meeting with Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed at his office at the secretariat. He stressed unfair labour practices, most especially crackdowns on labour activists, which are not acceptable and must stop immediately.
“Important progress has been made in the apparel sector, there would be another review for the GSP in December, and I’m very hopeful that progress will continue at the current phase and there would be different picture in December,” said Mozena replying to a question on restoration of GSP for Bangladesh.
Mozena said the RMG sector will transform in terms of fire safety, factory structural soundness and respect for workers’ rights for freedom of association.
