ECCT announces 2025 chairman, boards of directors and supervisors
The European Chamber of Commerce Taiwan (ECCT) today announced that H Henry Chang, Principal at Baker McKenzie will serve as chairman of the ECCT’s board of directors in 2025. Chang was elected to serve as chairman for a one-year term by the new board of directors at their first meeting following the chamber’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) today. Also at the meeting, Chairman Chang nominated John Winter, Country Manager of Robert Walters, to serve as Vice Chairman and his nomination was approved by the board. The 2025 boards of 15 directors and 5 supervisors were voted into office at today’s AGM by ECCT members (please see below for a full list of directors and supervisors). The chamber also announced that outgoing Chairman Giuseppe Izzo Giuseppe has been elected as the chamber’s first ever Chairman Emeritus by the board after having served three two-year terms as ECCT Chairman, the only person to ever have done so.

In its annual report to members at today’s AGM, outgoing 2024 Chairman Giuseppe Izzo reported that 2024 was a successful year for the chamber. A number of high profile activities were held and membership remains diverse. On the government relations front, the chamber regularly engaged with Taiwan’s ministries and government agencies throughout the year, helping to further promote members’ business interests. In terms of advocacy, the chamber achieved progress on 24% of the issues raised in its 2024 Position Papers (issued in November 2023).

The ECCT was extremely active during the year, holding its flagship Europe Day Dinner with incoming President Lai Ching-te and several events featuring prominent local and international speakers. This included the second annual summit hosted by the Family Friendly Alliance, which shares best practices aimed at creating a family friendly environment in Taiwan. In addition, the chamber arranged or participated in numerous conferences, seminars, and forums in conjunction with government agencies, media and non-governmental associations.

歐洲商會今日宣布，國際通商法律事務所，張瀚書（H Henry Chang），法學博士，將擔任2025年度歐洲商會理事會理事長。張瀚書理事長由新一屆理事會，在年度會員大會（AGM）後的首次會議中選舉產生，任期一年。會議中，同時理事長提名華德士臺灣總經理，文岳瀚（John Winter），擔任副理事長。在今天的年度會員大會中，會員們投票選出了2025年15位理事及5位監事（詳見下表完整名單）。此外，歐洲商會亦宣布，即將卸任的理事長尹容（Giuseppe Izzo）獲得理事會選舉，成為歐洲商會首位名譽理事長，以表彰前後陸續擔任過六任理事長的卓越貢獻，這也是歐洲商會1988年成立以來的第一人。

在今日的會員大會上，將卸任2024年理事長的尹容，向會員們提出的年度報告中指出，2024年對於商會而言是成功的一年，舉辦了多場高規格活動，會員組成仍保持多元化。在政府關係方面，商會全年與臺灣多個部會及政府機構保持定期互動，積極推廣會員的商業權益。政策倡議方面，商會在2024年建議書（於2023年11月發佈）中提出的議題中，有24%議題獲得解決或實質進展，成績為歷年最佳。

2024年，歐洲商會活動表現十分活躍，不僅在「歐洲日晚宴」中邀請到新上任總統賴清德出席，更邀請本地及國際知名講者舉辦多場活動。其中包括由商會「友善家庭聯盟」主辦的第二屆年度高峰論壇，該聯盟致力於提升臺灣家庭友善環境，以及分享最佳實踐。此外，商會還與政府機構、媒體及非政府組織合作，參與或籌辦了眾多會議、研討會及論壇，成果豐碩。
