The EU trade commissioner has recommended imposing tariffs on mid-price leather shoes from China and Vietnam in the latest attempt to 'protect' European businesses.

Next's trading update for Christmas 2005 is one of the first significant indicators of how British retail fared over Christmas. The fashion retailer's modest turnaround in like-for-like sales has seen Next shares rise to a 12-month high. Yet while the figures look promising, they do not reflect the bigger picture and should not be treated as a reliable barometer for the whole market.
