After many years of effort, Taiwan became the 144th member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) on January 1, 2002. Membership of the WTO will have a far-reaching influence on Taiwan’s domestic economy and industry. At the
Economic Development Advisory Conference (EDAC) convened by President Chen last August, a number of resolutions were reached concerning Taiwan’s entry to the WTO1. These resolutions, which agencies of the Executive Yuan (the Cabinet) were charged with putting into effect, are aimed at speeding up adjustment of the industrial structure and ensuring more efficient use of resources, so that Taiwan can grasp the opportunities arising from WTO membership to further its economic development.

Taiwan’s Economy, and Policies in Response”, the Council for Economic Planning and Development (CEPD) presented these to the Executive Yuan for its reference and consideration on September 26 and November 28, 2001, respectively. Because the above reports were compiled prior to Taiwan’s accession to the WTO, and in view of the possible need to respond to questions from the Legislative Yuan and various sections of society, this Council requested the concerned agencies to provide the latest data and newest policy responses for updating last year’s report. These have duly been compiled into this “Report on the Impact of Taiwan’s Entry to the WTO and
Policies in Response” and made available for reference.

Service sectors opened up in stages prior to WTO accession include, among others, legal, accountancy and other professional services, as well as financial, insurance, securities and futures, telecommunications, transportation, education, and film services. After WTO entry, market-opening measures include: (i) permitting foreign lawyers to practice in Taiwan subject to appropriate limitations; (ii) abolishing limits on the ratio of foreign investment in air-cargo forwarding and air-cargo entrepot business; and (iii) removing the controls on the ratio of local films on screen, the number of screenings of films from a single country, the number of copies of a film that may be imported, and so on, and eliminating the domestic-film support fee levied on foreign films.The 2008 fiscal year’s preliminary processing and screening for major public works budgets covered 320 projects. Taking account of economic development needs and the government’s fiscal capacity, the CEPD approved budgets totaling NT$208.8 billion for these projects, which are projected to contribute 1.43% to the economic growth rate and provide 130,000 job opportunities. After considering the results of the review, the Executive Yuan approved the public construction budget, including expenditure of NT$131.5 billion from the government’s regular public construction budget and NT$77.3 billion from the special budget for the New Ten Projects. With the addition of the special budget of NT$5.3 billion for the Shihmen Reservoir project approved by the Legislative Yuan, the public construction budget for 2008 amounts to NT$214.1 billion.

Kaohsiung Harbor will be more active in the contribution and participation in global economy and marine market.

In order to develop Kaohsiung Harbor as the Asian Pacific Marine Transportation Center, there is an urgent need to maximize the utilization of limited resources within the Harbor. KBH in compliance with "Comprehensive Plan of International Ports in Taiwan Area" enacted by the Executive Yuan promotes development activities and develops "Comprehensive and Future Development Plan of Kaohsiung Harbor" in the interest of both Kaohsiung City and Kaohsiung Harbor.

The Executive Yuan proved the preceding plan of the future development of Kaohsiung Harbor on April 24, 2001 as the blueprint. The whole harbor area was planned and designed for the maximum utilization. The development, therefore, complied with the development plan and shown as follows:
