Debate on trade-in-services pact heavy on arguing, light on progress (2014/03/12)

A legislative committee was set to review the trade-in-services pact Taiwan signed last year with China, but it quickly became clear that arguments and mild fighting would be the only matters on the agenda today. The attempt was abandoned, and lawmakers will have another go tomorrow.

Before preliminary review of the trade-in-services pact could begin, pan blue and pan green lawmakers had a spat over a procedural issue.

Lin Hung-chih
KMT Legislator
When I went to register to speak, I discovered that they had registered before today’s meeting even began. This violates the principle of neutrality, which is why we protested.

Pan green lawmaker Chen Chi-mai, of the DPP, is responsible for chairing this week’s meetings of the Internal Administration Committee. Taking his place next week is pan blue lawmaker Chang Ching-chung, of the KMT. Such factors play into both camps’ calculations.

Gao Jyh-peng
DPP Legislator
The KMT purposely crafted a conflict. They are tried to stake legitimacy to a future attempt to send this pact directly to its second or third reading. But I believe we will have a response. We will adapt and respond no matter what may occur.

The standstill lasted all day. Officials who had planned to speak were left with only reporters as an audience.

Chang Chia-juch
Economics Minister
We should review this as quickly as possible so it can be completed. If it’s delayed and fails to advance, we will be sidelined. There’s no doubt of this.

Taiwan signed the trade-in-services pact with China last June. But it cannot be implemented until the Legislature passes it. Tomorrow, ruling and opposition lawmakers will again bring their dispute to the committee.

藍綠拚服貿

兩岸服務貿易協議，今天在立法院內政委員會進行初審，朝野立委為了搶發言登記順序吵翻天，甚至發生肢體衝突，場面一片混亂，開會不到五分鐘，會議主席陳其邁就宣布休息，由於朝野僵持不下，直到下午會議仍無法進行，列席官員則只能枯坐乾。

兩岸服務貿易協議還沒開始初審，藍綠立委就先為了發言登記的程序，吵了起來。

[[國民黨政策會執行長林鴻池]]
“要去登記程序發言才發覺到，原來會議還沒開始，他們就已經登記了，這個違反議事中立，所以我們抗議”

內政委員會這週的會議主席是民進黨立委陳其邁，下週的主席是國民黨立委張慶忠，藍綠立委當然自各盤算。

[[民進黨團幹事長高志鵬]]
“國民黨故意製造衝突，是為了鞏固他未來，逕付二三讀的一個正當性，但是我想，我們會有所因應啦，一定也會兵來將擋水來土掩”

議事停擺一整天，列席官員只能把想說的話對媒體說。

[[經濟部長張家祝]]
“我們應該要盡快地把它審查，讓它能夠完成，我們如果說是一直遲滯不前的話，我們一定會被邊緣化的，這個是無庸置疑的”

去年6月就簽署的兩岸服務貿易協議，必須要等到立法院通過才能上路，明天朝野立委將再戰內政委員會。
