TAIPEI: Taiwan<\/a> would be \"happy\" to see its chip firms invest in the European Union but deeper ties with the bloc akin to Taipei's relations with Washington could help pave the way for that, a senior Taiwanese official told Reuters.
The EU<\/a> has been courting Taiwan, a major semiconductor<\/a> producer, as one of the \"like-minded\" partners it would like to work with under the European Chips Act unveiled in February, as it tries to deal with a persistent global chip shortage<\/a>.
While Taiwan and the EU held-high level trade talks last month, less than a week after that meeting Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd<\/a> (TSMC<\/a>) said it had no concrete plans for factories in Europe, having flagged a year ago that it was in the early stages of reviewing a potential expansion into Germany.
Taiwan Deputy Economy Minister Chen Chern-chyi, whose portfolio covers economic relations with Europe, said late Monday that while he could not speak on behalf of chip companies, he noted they have not said they are not going to Europe.
\"But the government's position is that we are happy to see our companies having a global footprint, including the United States and Europe, who are both our like-minded partners. On a policy level we are of course very happy to see them deploying globally, and would be glad to see it happen,\" he said.
In the face of sustained Chinese political and military pressure designed to force Taiwan to accept China's sovereignty claims, Taipei has been keen to bolster ties with other democracies even in the absence of formal diplomatic relations.
In one wrinkle for EU ambitions, Taiwan's GlobalWafers Co Ltd<\/a> failed in February in a 4.35 billion euro ($4.36 billion) takeover attempt of German chip supplier Siltronic<\/a>.
Chen said he was not aware the ministry, which has to approve large-scale oversees investments, had received any new applications for EU chip projects so far this year.
Taiwan, he added, wanted to have the kind of close, institutionalised trade, technology and economic dialogue ties with the EU that they have with the United States, where TSMC is building a $12 billion factory and GlobalWafers a $5 billion plant.
\"Our interactions with the United States have been rather more, communication is closer. We also hope to develop the same close relationship with the EU,\" Chen said.
\"If it's like this, it would be very helpful for our companies for their attention towards and knowledge of Europe.\"
Taiwan has also been pushing for a bilateral investment agreement with the EU, though there has been no progress.
Chen said while that remains a policy goal, they were not ruling out deals that are currently \"more achievable\".
\"We even hope to have a free trade agreement with the EU, which would be the best. The EU has lots of FTAs with other countries, and if the EU is willing, we are too.\"

台湾“快乐”看到芯片在欧盟的投资,希望更深的关系
欧盟已经向台湾,主要的半导体生产商,“志同道合”的合作伙伴,愿与欧洲芯片在今年2月公布的行为,因为它试图应对全球芯片持续短缺。

台北:台湾将“快乐”看到其芯片公司投资在欧盟但更深层次与欧盟的关系类似于台北和华盛顿的关系可以帮助铺平道路,台湾的一位高级官员对路透表示。
的欧盟一直在讨好台湾,专业吗半导体生产商,“志同道合”的合作伙伴,愿与欧洲芯片法案公布了今年2月,因为它试图应对持续的全球芯片短缺。
而台湾和欧盟上个月高举贸易谈判水平,之后不到一个星期的会议台湾半导体制造有限公司(台积电)表示,欧洲工厂没有具体的计划,一年前有标记,这是在评估一个潜在的早期扩张进入德国。
台湾经济副部长陈Chern-chyi的组合涵盖经济与欧洲的关系,周一晚间说,虽然他不能代表芯片公司,他说他们没有说,他们不是去欧洲。
”,但政府的立场是,我们很高兴看到我们的公司拥有一个全球足迹,包括美国和欧洲,他们都是我们的志趣相投的伙伴。在政策层面上,我们当然很高兴看到他们部署在全球范围内,,很高兴能看到它发生,”他说。
面对持续的中国政治和军事压力设计强迫台湾接受中国的主权主张,台北一直热衷于支持与其他民主国家的关系即使没有正式的外交关系。
在一个欧盟雄心的皱纹,台湾GlobalWafers有限公司失败在2月43.5亿欧元(合43.6亿美元)收购德国的芯片供应商Siltronic。
陈先生说他不知道外交部,已批准大规模监管投资,收到任何新的申请欧盟芯片项目今年迄今为止。
台湾,他补充道,想要接近,制度化的贸易、技术和经济对话与欧盟的关系,他们与美国,台积电在哪里建立一个120亿美元的工厂和GlobalWafers 50亿美元的工厂。
“我们与美国的互动更,沟通更近。同样我们也希望发展与欧盟关系密切,”陈说。
“如果是这样,这将是非常有用的对我们公司为他们的注意力转移到欧洲和知识。”
台湾也在推动一项双边投资协议,欧盟,尽管还没有进展。
陈表示,尽管这仍然是一个政策目标,他们不排除交易,目前“更可实现的”。
“我们甚至希望与欧盟自由贸易协定,这将是最好的。欧盟与其他国家有很多自由贸易协定,如果欧盟愿意,我们太。”
