2005 International Environmental Protection Issue Study--

Absrtact
We focused on organizing important achievements in developing marine resource conservation policy in the period of June, 2004 to April, 2005. The information of the achievements is collected from several governmental and academic agencies, including Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration (EPA), Council of Agriculture (COA), Coast Guard Administration (CGA), Ministry of interior (MOI), and Harbor Bureaus. Also, the progress of marine resource conservation in Taiwan was presented in the bilingual report. Secondly, we assisted Taiwan EPA to host two international conferences, i.e. 2005 Southeast Environmental Forensics Conference on 19 September to 21 September and 2005 TECRO and AIT Annual Meeting on Environmental Issues of Common Concern on 26 September to 29 September. The first one is co-held by International Society of Environmental Forensics (ISEF) and Taiwan EPA. Several tasks including organizing the conference proceedings and memoranda, agenda arrangement, conference hosting, professional consulting have been done during the period of the conferences. Taiwan EPA originally promised USD 20,000 for ISEF conference, and ITRI promised 30,000 for the same conference. But ITRI finally decided to fully sponsor for the conference after discussion with ISEF. To enhance the cooperation and understanding of the “Agreement between the TECRO and the AIT for the Technical Cooperation in the Field of Environment Protection”, we summarized EPA projects over past 3 years on concerned topics which was mainly focus on the field of air quality protection. The related topics list as the following: 1. Unqualified Fuel Prohibition 2. Feasibility Analysis of Levying Air Pollution Fee from Automobiles Consumers 3. Revising the vessel air emission standard 4. Establishing Mercury Emission Factors and Emission Inventory Database 5. Investigation and Risk Assessment of Other HAPs Species 6. Levying Air Pollution Fee of VOC The summarized contents describe the difficulties and problems of these topics, effects, influences, and performance of the related measures and policy, achievements and the future planning, and this information would provide as the issues of the cooperation in the future.
