The government is making good progress on tackling issues identified in the 2018 Taiwan White Paper produced by the American Chamber of Commerce in Taipei, according to the Cabinet-level National Development Council May 29.

Around 40 percent of the 71 issues raised in the paper are resolved or on the way to resolution, with the remainder prioritized for attention, the NDC said.

According to the council, eight issues spanning such sectors as cosmetics, labor laws and public sector procurements have been satisfactorily finalized through interministerial coordination and regulatory amendments.

Greater effort will be dedicated to addressing other areas of concern in the digital economy, energy, and travel and tourism sectors so as to keep Taiwan’s business environment on the development track, the NDC said.    [FULL  STORY]
