TERRY GOU DISILLUSIONED WITH TAIWAN INVESTMENT|郭董批政府行政繁瑣 非必要不回台投資

Foxconn CEO Terry Gou appeared at an opening ceremony for National Ttaiwan University Hospital's cancer proton treatment center. Gou went off script and criticized Taiwan government administrative procedures as cumbersome, and he also said that considering Taiwan's current environment, unless it's absolutely necessary, he would not invest here in the future. Appearing at NTU Hospitals' new cancer proton treatment center, Foxconn CEO Terry Gou gave a speech in which he went off script and criticized Taiwan government administrative procedures as cumbersome. He said the proton treatment center had taken a decade to apply for permission for, so that for many cancer patients it was too late. ==TERRY GOU Foxconn CEO== Many of the public bodies we had to connect with for this treatment center kept extending the procedures, recently we invested in the US and I found that if the Taiwan government does not improve measure for investment , then it will lose out heavily to the US. We would like to invest in Taiwan but really, now unless it is really necessary, I wouldn't invest in Taiwan again. == SHI CHONG-LIANG Dir., Dept. Medical Affairs, MHAW== As there was a change in the number of beds, and a change in the design, and a change in the height of the floor, from the professional point of view of NTU Hospital, there were some adjustments. The MOHW explained that the administration process for NTU Hospital's proton treatment center for cancer had not been delayed but that it was because the design team changed plans. However, Gou was not only unhappy at the progress of the treatment center but also said that unless it were absolutely necessary in the future he would not return to Taiwan to invest. At a discussion forum with the government Chinese National Federation of Industries Chair Hsu Sheng-hsiung also said that Taiwan had an unfriendly investment environment. ==HSU SHENG-HSIUNG Chair, Chinese Nat. Fed. of Industries == An investment friendly environment apart from the issue we just mentioned, also needs environmental awareness. == LEE SHIH-KUANG Minister, MOEA== We have become more efficient since the start of last year's one stop shop concept. Industrial and commercial groups all say that many investments are held up by the slow pace of environmental assessment. Added to that is the inconvenience of the new labor law amendment which all impact on investors' willingness to commit. However, the MOEA said that it was grateful for Gou's feedback and would discuss the issues in more detail with him. The MOEA said it offered a one stop shop for investors and was becoming more efficient.
