Minister Hsu Ming-Chun of the Ministry of Labor (MOL) came in person and delivered the speech. The meeting was co-chaired by MOL Deputy Minister Liu Shih-Hao, Lawyer Jessika Ko and Professor Fan Yu, both experts of labour relations. The Ministry of Communications, Civil Aeronautics Administration, and Taoyuan City Government\u2019s Department of Labor also sent representatives to attend the meeting, which was broadcast live to the public.<\/p>\n

The conclusion of this meeting was Eva air confirming that 54 out of 93 flights departing from Taiwan will be cancelled, affecting 11,600 passengers.\u00a0 59 flights returning to Taiwan will also be canceled, impacting a further 13,000 passengers, according to Eva Air.<\/p>\n

Eva immediately deployed response team as soon as they were aware of TFAU strike action. The airline has been able to maintain 40 per cent of its entire flight capacity over the weekend, with 122 out of 177 flights cancelled on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the deadlock between labour and management is yet to be resolved and the likelihood of a speedy resolution is dwindling. On 29th<\/sup> June, the union said it will hold another vote for its 3,200 EVA air flight attendants to decide whether the strike will continue. According to the union, 1900 flight attendants have surrendered their passports, their Mainland Travel Permit for Taiwan Residents and their EVA Air employee identification cards to commit themselves to remain on strike until a settlement is reached. Therefore, it is likely that this strike will continue.<\/p>\n

Consequently, Eva air has announced that it will no longer accept new bookings before June 29th<\/sup> and has cancelled at least 670 flights between Saturday 22nd<\/sup> and 29th<\/sup> June.<\/p>\n

Upon failure to do so, the EU will issue a red card and it will no longer be possible to export seafood to the EU. The yellow card was of concern to foreign traders and had a negative impact on price. This is why the government deemed it necessary to work with fishermen and companies to strengthen fishery management.<\/p>\n

The EU\u2019s decision to lift Taiwan’s yellow card follows 3.5 years of constructive cooperation between Taiwanese authorities and the European Commission. This cooperation led to the structural reforms of distant-water fisheries, legal framework and control systems. These mechanisms provide Taiwanese authorities with a broad range of modern and efficient tools to fight IUU fishing.<\/p>\n
