ECFA-FTA Seminar 29th July 2009 Sydney
Taiwan and China signed an ¡¥Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement¡¦ on 29th June 2010 that will have the effect of reducing trade barriers between the two countries. The signing of the ECFA is a milestone in a truly historic transformation of economic relations between Taiwan and China, a transformation that will have tremendous ramifications for Australian business. ATBC organised a rather successful seminar on ¡§Taking advantage of Closer Economic Relations across the Taiwan Strait ¡V An Australia-Taiwan FTA?¡¨ on 29th July, Shangri-la Hotel in Sydney. The seminar was designed for business people and scholars to look for opportunities and appropriate responses. The Chairman¡¦s Report compiled summarising the more interesting ideas and suggestions made at the ATBC¡¦s seminar.
