Critics fear mass expropriation of farmland will be needed to build free economic pilot zones (2014/04/14)

When students took over the Legislature in protest against the services trade pact signed with China, they caused delays to several bills. Among them is another major economic plan: the establishment of free economic pilot zones. Today in legislative committee critics accused the government of planning forced expropriation of farmland in order to build the zones, while the government argued the zones will help farmers by bringing added value to agricultural products. 

A land economics professor was one of several experts to express concerns about land expropriation associated with building free economic pilot zones.

Hsu Shih-jung
National Chengchi University
In the name of development, the government is robbing from the poor to give to the rich. When the government plunders this land, it becomes a bandit. Do its actions meet the requirement that land expropriation be necessary? Minister Kuan, is this allowed?

National Development Council Minister Kuan Chung-ming promised supplementary measures before line-by-line review of the special regulations in the Legislature.

Kuan Chung-ming
Development Minister
For land expropriations, since the start we have almost entirely followed old mechanisms. If this leads to other concerns or doubts expressed in our public hearings, then I will review related articles with the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Ministry of the Interior.

Kuan said he’s willing to join scholars in conducting a line-by-line review of articles that will have an impact on farmers. He added that it’s wrong of critics to accuse him of trying to eliminate agriculture, and that instead he hopes to bring added value to the industry.

經委自經區 

反服貿學運才告一段落，自由經濟示範區爭議繼續上演，今天在立院經委會，有教授認為自經區的土地徵收，是政府強搶農民土地，痛批政府劫貧濟富，要國發會主委管中閔，說清楚！

自由經濟示範區特別條例草案，專家學者輪番上台，針對土地徵收，造成小農生存不易，重炮猛批！

[[政大地政系教授 徐世榮]]
(政府)劫貧濟富，拿人民土地來開發，搶奪人民的土地，政府變成強盜，有沒有符合土地徵收必要要件，管主委，可以這麼搞嗎?

面對疑慮，國發會主委管中閔承諾，會在立法院逐條審查前，提出相關辦法。

[[國發會主委 管中閔]]
有關土地徵收，當初我們幾乎都是照著舊有機制走，如果這上面可能產生其他擔憂或疑慮的話，我們公聽會後，我聽到這些意見，我會和經濟部和內政部，再針對相關條文會做檢討。

管中閔表示，條文中有關農業衝擊的部分，願與學者逐條檢視，也強調「絕對不會想要滅農，而是希望用新價值發展產值。」
