"However, it is not an urgent issue to adjust or amend the guidelines now," he said.
Chang did not respond when asked whether it was necessary to convene a meeting of the National Unification Council.
The KMT government founded the council in October 1990 to serve as a presidential advisory body. It was boycotted from the outset by the DPP.
In March 1991, the third meeting of the council drew up the guidelines on the basis of discussions between KMT representatives and a few independents.
From their very inception, the guidelines -- supposed to be a blueprint for Taiwan's cross-strait policy -- have had problems with legitimacy, since they were not the product of an all-party agreement nor have they ever been subjected to any form of democratic ratification.
