"The government has been very proactive in trying to fulfill the legal requirements passing all 55 laws associated with WTO entry ... but whether they will keep to the spirit of all the promises is another question," said Murat.
"There are many things that regulators can come up with in order to make the reality of conducting business is still difficult, although everything looks happy on the legal side," he added.
And while the ECCT has consistently made its views on trade issues known through close contact with the government and its annual position papers, chamber chairman Fabrice de Murat believes that Taiwan's entry into the WTO will provide greater leverage.
"The fact that Taiwan is in WTO will definitely push EU to come and help us and to monitor the trade issues and WTO implementation on Taiwan," said Murat.
