Premier Delivers Administrative Report to Legislature 陳建仁施政報告:四個堅持 維持台海和平

Premier Chen Chien-jen gave his first administrative report to the legislature on Feb. 24.

Chen Chien-jen, Premier: “The peace and stability of Taiwan are something that has a high degree of consensus among democratic countries all around the world. The government will uphold the four commitments proposed by President Tsai to guarantee the stability of Taiwan and maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.”

Premier Chen Chien-jen delivered his first administrative report to the legislature on Feb. 24. He spoke about the cross-Strait situation and national defense, and promised to carry out the four major assignments tasked to him by President Tsai Ing-wen. However, legislators were more concerned with the issues that affect people's livelihoods. Egg prices continue to rise, and many places have been impacted by egg shortages. The Council of Agriculture said sales points in the north will receive eggs today, the 24th, and once again issued an apology.

Chen Chi-chung, Agriculture Minister: “Right now, there is an egg shortage, and many consumers have to run around to buy them. I of course feel that I wasn't able to do what was needed to allow consumers to immediately purchase this kind of egg, so of course I have to apologize.”

There are also concerns about possible electricity rate hikes. Chen said he hopes to maintain rates at reasonable levels. He also refused to commit to either a rate freeze or a rate hike. All he said was everyone has to wait until the deliberation committee meets in March.

Chen Chien-jen, Premier: “We will of course take commodity prices into consideration, but this has to go through the deliberation committee and it will make some very detailed calculations. We won't be making this kind of decision until March.”

Economic Affairs Minister Wang Mei-hua said the Ukraine-Russia war caused international fuel prices to skyrocket and they have fallen a little recently. She will instruct Taipower to conduct a comprehensive assessment based on factors such as fuel cost structure, the international situation, and domestic prices. She also pointed out rates were increased last year for heavy users and left unchanged for civil users and praised that as being very helpful for the stability of their livelihoods.

行政院長陳建仁表示：「台灣的和平穩定，是全球民主國家的高度共識，政府將以蔡總統所提的4個堅持來保障台灣的穩定，而且來維持台海的穩定和平。」

陳建仁首度站上立院備詢台報告施政方針，除了談及兩岸、國防議題，還強調將落實蔡總統交付的4大任務。不過民生問題更受關注，尤其是雞蛋價格上漲、部分地區缺蛋，農委會主委陳吉仲說，北部各地超市通路缺貨的部分今天就會補齊，再度致歉。

農委會主委陳吉仲說道：「因為最近這樣的一個蛋的不足，然後讓消費者多跑了幾次，我當然會覺得說，我沒有做到讓消費者可以即時買到這樣的一個雞蛋，我當然要來道歉。」

另外外界關注電價可能調漲，陳建仁說期望讓電費維持在合理價位，至於電價是不是會漲，陳建仁沒有保證漲或不漲，只說要等3月審議委員會才知道。

行政院長陳建仁提及：「一定會來兼顧到民生物價這個部分，但是這都需要經過審議委員會，很詳細的來推算，那是在3月份時候我們才會來做這樣的決定。」

經濟部長王美花則說，俄烏戰爭讓國際燃料成本大漲，最近有稍微回落一點，會責成台電就燃料成本結構、國際情勢跟國內物價等因素，做綜合討論。還說去（2022）年對用電大戶有漲價，民生用戶至今都沒有漲，對民生穩定很有幫助。
