Based on theoretical and practical considerations of the situation of the European textile industry as well as on some major conclusive guidelines the following may be pointed out:

• By developing and applying modern intelligent systems one capital part in the production of equipment will remain relevant in medium-developed European countries.
• Technological projects with firm applicable solutions and application belong to future goals (15, 16).
• Programs of anthropometric measurements of the population have been started, having the improvement of old-fashioned systems of garment and footwear sizes in mind. In Croatia, such a program is being implemented under the title "Croatian Anthropometric System" (chief researcher is Ph.D. Darko Ujević).
• Only novel and modern techniques are the only possible way to achieve competitiveness and survival of the European textile, garment and footwear industry.
