The launch was held at an ECCT Premium Event lunch where ECCT Chairman Giuseppe Izzo presented the highlights of the chamber’s annual publication to members and guests and officially handed over a copy to the Taiwan government, represented by National Development Council (NDC) Deputy Minister Kao Shien-Quey (副主任委員 高仙桂). This year’s publication includes separate submissions from 25 of the ECCT’s industry and support committees and raises 189 issues, 124 from previous years and 65 new issues. The papers were also released to the media at a press conference following the lunch, where co-chairs of ECCT committees presented some of their priority issues.
In his presentation to the NDC deputy minister and ECCT members at the launch, Chairman Izzo acknowledged the government’s efforts over the past year that has led to progress on 24% of the issues raised in the previous year’s papers. He went on to give a summary of the Position Paper Overview and highlight some of the major issues facing ECCT members.
The governments, corporations and people of Taiwan and Europe share common values and aspirations for a safe, healthy and prosperous future. The new administration’s establishment of committees to address climate change, safeguard national health, strengthen resilience and many of its objectives and goals are shared by the ECCT. The Overview outlines visions in several areas, including energy security, health, talent and resilience and notes that, since the government and ECCT members want the same things, their common goals can serve as a foundation and motivation for cooperation that, if translated into effective action can realise a shared vision for the future.
