Taipei, July 30 (CNA) Taiwan's economic and labor ministries on Thursday established a cross-agency mechanism to block goods linked to forced labor from entering the country, in part to fulfill Taiwan's trade commitments to the United States. Under the mechanism, the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) will forward information on goods identified by partner countries as involving forced labor to the Ministry of Labor (MOL), which will initiate a review, according to news releases issued by the two ministries. According to MOL, the mechanism was established in part to implement Taiwan's commitment under the Taiwan-U.S. Agreement on Reciprocal Trade (ART), signed in February, to enforce a ban on imports produced using forced labor. The committee's review will focus on whether the case involves any of the International Labour Organization's 11 indicators of forced labor and whether the company concerned has taken corrective action, she said. MOL said Taiwan's placement in the 10 percent category, with the rate not added on top of most-favored-nation tariffs, reflects the nation's commitment under the ART to ban imports produced using forced labor.
