ECCT announces 2021 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 2021 for a one-year term. H Henry Chang was elected by the new board of directors at their first meeting following the chamber’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) today. The 2021 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).

In its annual report to members at today’s AGM, outgoing 2020 Chairman Giuseppe Izzo reported that 2020 was a challenging year given the coronavirus pandemic. However, despite the pandemic, the ECCT managed to sustain its operations and activities with few disruptions. The chamber engaged frequently with government ministries and agencies throughout the year, helping to further promote members’ business interests. Membership continued to increase to 919 individuals and the quality and participation at events remained exceptionally high. A number of successful events were held and, in terms of advocacy, the chamber achieved progress on around 19% of the issues raised in its 2020 Position Papers, a level similar to previous years.

The ECCT was extremely active during the year, holding activities which included Premium Events, webinars featuring speakers from the Asia Pacific region and Europe, committee meetings and government visits, which attracted high profile guest speakers. There were three major highlights of the year: the annual Europe Day Dinner, the 2020 Global Offshore Wind Summit and the 2020 ECCT EU-Taiwan Telecom Forum. All events received positive reviews from members. ECCT members and the secretariat also arranged or participated in numerous conferences, seminars and forums in conjunction with government agencies.

歐洲商會選出2021年新任理事長、理事及監事

歐洲在臺商務協會(ECCT) 歐洲商會今日舉行年度大會，選舉2021年15位理事及5位監事（理監事完整名單請見下表），並由新任理事會推舉國際通商法律事務所張瀚書，法學博士接任理事長，這也是ECCT成立32年來，首度由臺籍菁英當選理事長。

在向會員的年度報告中，即將卸任的理事長徐尹容（Giuseppe Izzo）表示，儘管2020年因新冠肺炎疫情而充滿挑戰，所幸歐洲商會仍能維持運作，各項活動受影響有限，歐洲商會與政府部會密切往來，協助會員促進商業利益，除會員數增至919人，活動出席及迴響亦相當熱烈，不少活動均相當成功，在2020年建議書列舉事項中，約19%已有進展，與前幾年相近。

歐洲商會全年度運作活躍，舉辦菁英午餐會，亦邀請亞太及歐洲區講者參與線上講座，定期舉行委員會會議、參訪政府機構，並邀得知名客座講師出席。今年度共有三場大型活動，包括歐洲日晚宴、2020 全球離岸風電產業高峰會、2020歐臺電信論壇，均獲會員一致好評；商會會員及秘書處亦與政府機構合作，籌辦或參與多場研討會、講座及論壇。
