I.  BROAD ITEMS OF INTEREST TO ADVISORS AND AGENCY 
MANAGERS: 
 
1.  (U) The Export Control and Related Border Security (EXBS) 
Advisor reported on two recent investigations of Taiwan companies 
for export control violations.  The investigations are detailed in 
refs A and B. 
 
2.  (U) On January 15, the EXBS Advisor was informed by an official 
of the Bureau of Foreign Trade (BOFT) of the Taiwan Ministry of 
Economic Affairs that the Taiwan Executive Yuan (EY) approved 
legislation to amend the Foreign Trade Act (FTA) to increase 
penalties for export control violations.  The legislation increases 
penalties from two years of imprisonment and/or a fine of up to NTD 
300,000 (approximately USD 9,000), to five years of imprisonment 
and/or a fine of NTD 1 million (approximately USD 30,000).  The EY 
plans to refer the legislation to the Legislative Yuan (LY) at the 
end of February.  The new LY was sworn in on February 1.

Economic Chief met with an official from Japan Interchange 
Association (AIT counterpart) and three visiting officials from 
Tokyo (two from the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, and 
one from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs).  The Japanese officials 
were interested in our assessment of Taiwan's export control system, 
including the recent step-up on enforcement actions.  AIT-T 
officials told them that, while Taiwan's system needs further 
refinement, Taiwan is moving in the right direction.  AIT-T and 
Japanese officials agreed to continue U.S.-Japan cooperation in 
Taiwan's export control development. 
 
2.  (SBU) On January 16, the EXBS Advisor gave a briefing to the 
Keelung Harbor Police on the EXBS program. Approximately 60 officers

3.  (U) On January 31, the EXBS Advisor attended the Taiwan-Japan 
Industry Outreach Seminar.  Approximately 200 Taiwan companies 
attended the program.  The morning session was focused on the legal 
and regulatory requirements of Taiwan and Japan export control 
systems and the afternoon was focused on internal controls for 
exports by companies.  NEC and Applied Materials made presentations 
on their internal control programs.  Seven officials from Japan 
(METI, CISTEC, and NEC) participated in the seminar.  During 
Taiwan's presentations, EXBS was referenced as the basis for 
U.S.-Taiwan cooperation on export controls.
