It looks like this is a very good deal for the U.S. textile industry, ... Our objectives were tight limits on our sensitive categories and expanded product coverage. The U.S. government achieved both of those results.

With regard to 1 January 2006 renewals, insurers remained very competitive. They are still prepared to provide increased limits while deductibles remained flexible. However, they moved away from a percentage-of-claim deductible to a fixed-figure basis. Insurers are also still keen to provide cover on a retail value basis.

I don't know if they can get enough done here

I think they've made more progress on product coverage than anything else.

I think the expectation is that they will not make much progress today and the US (team) will go home this afternoon.
