European Economic and Trade Office
Established in March 2003, the European Economic and Trade Office (EETO) is the representative office of the EU in Taiwan.
EETO's mission is to strengthen the bilateral trade and economic relationship, to enhance policy cooperation and to promote the EU visibility in Taiwan. The Office works closely together with the 16 EU Member States offices in Taiwan, third countries, EU business, Taiwanese authorities and civil society groups. Major areas of interest to the EU concern the implementation of Taiwan's WTO commitments, the facilitation of bilateral trade by reducing non-tariff barriers, unnecessary bureaucratic procedures and promoting international standards as well as the development of new economic areas for instance in the area of digital industry, smart machinery and green energy. EETO is also engaged in the promotion of human rights, fight against climate change, environment and circular economy, science and technology cooperation, as well as education and cultural exchanges. The Office publishes once a year a brochure on the EU-Taiwan relationship.
European Union Centre in Taiwan
For the purpose of encouraging studies of the European Union and academic and civil society exchanges and cooperation globally, the European Union (EU), in 1998, began establishing European Union Centres at prestigious universities in developed countries around the world. There are currently 32 such centres around the world: 10 are located in the USA, 5 are in Canada, 4 are in Japan and Korea, 3 are in Australia and Russia, while New Zealand, Taiwan and Singapore each hosts 1 centre. Despite variations in name, each centre is formed with a mandate from the European Union and not only acts as a platform for exchanges and cooperation within its host country, but also creates linkages among other such centres to establish global and regional networks to support EU Studies.
European Business Organisation
The EBO Worldwide Network stands as the sole organisation representing European business interests in markets outside the European Union. It represents a network active in over 35 key markets that serves European multinationals, as well as micro, small, medium and large enterprises. European chambers of commerce and European business associations within the EBO Worldwide Network work on a daily basis with European Union delegations across the globe in the shared interest of supporting European companies.
