谅解备忘录
柬埔寨更佳工厂和(工厂名称)....................................................................................间
1,柬埔寨更佳工厂(前身为国际劳工组织成衣领域计划)成立于 2001 年,旨在帮助 柬埔寨成衣领域改善工作条件并长久保持.该项计划源于美国和柬埔寨为某些成衣厂向 美国输出成衣而制订的出口配额的贸易协议.根据协议,只要柬埔寨改善工作条件,就 会获得附加的出口配额. 2,为了度量和保证工作条件的改善,柬埔寨更佳工厂和参与的各成衣厂合作,依据国 内和国际标准进行监督并提呈报告,以帮助各工厂提高生产力,并同政府和国际买家共 同工作从而确保改善过程的严格性和透明度. 3,同为限制重要的低成本制造国如中国,印度等出口到美国和欧盟的配额而制订的全 球多种纤维协议(MFA)一样,柬埔寨—美国贸易协议于 2004 年 12 月 31 日终止.随 着这些协议的终止,柬埔寨将遭遇全球性的竞争.为了保持竞争力,柬埔寨成衣厂目前 必须以某种方法使自身在市场上脱颖而出. 4,通过持续改善工作条件和接达工厂服从国际和国内劳工标准的可靠信息的便利,柬 埔寨在某种程度上为自己留出了时间.柬埔寨更佳工厂将寻求并寄望于已在上述 2 个部 分取得的进展,然而和柬埔寨各成衣厂进行合作以使计划继续取得成功却是非常紧迫 的. 5,本备忘录和附着的登记表格为柬埔寨更佳工厂和希望参与该项计划的各成衣厂之间 的合作提供了合作框架.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
Between Better Factories Cambodia and (name of factory) …..……………………………………… 1. Better Factories Cambodia (formerly known as the ILO Garment Sector Project), was established in 2001 to help Cambodia's garment sector achieve and maintain improvements in working conditions. The project grew out of a trade agreement between the United States and Cambodia, which set an export quota for certain garments from Cambodia to the United States. Under the agreement, the US allocated bonus export entitlements to Cambodia, as long as the country made gains in improving working conditions. 2. In order to measure and ensure gains in working conditions, Better Factories Cambodia, in cooperation with participating Cambodian garment factories, has monitored and reported on working conditions according to national and international standards, helped factories to improve their productivity, and worked with the Government and international buyers to ensure a rigorous and transparent cycle of improvement. 3. The Cambodian-US trade agreement expired on 31 December 2004, as did a global Multi-Fibre Agreement (MFA), which had imposed limits on imports to the United States and the European Union countries from key low-cost manufacturing countries such as China and India. With the expiration of these agreements, Cambodia is subject to global competition. In order to remain competitive, Cambodian garment factories now must somehow distinguish themselves in the market. 4. Cambodia has set itself apart to some extent by continuously improving working conditions, and by facilitating access to reliable information regarding factory compliance with international and national labour standards. Better Factories Cambodia will seek to build upon the progress that already has been made in both of these areas, but the cooperation of Cambodia garment factories is critical to the project's continued success.
