The ECCT's annual Europe Day Dinner will once again be held in May this year. This year's dinner marks the 30th anniversary of the 1992 Maastricht Treaty, which, along with the Treaties of Rome (1957), laid the foundations of the European Union today. The Maastricht Treaty officially established the European Union by merging the European Economic Community (EEC), the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom). The treaty introduced European citizenship, which gave citizens of EU member states the right to live, work and study anywhere in the EU. It also created the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), which led to the introduction of the single currency, the euro. In addition, the treaty expanded cooperation within the EU beyond economics to the environment, migration and the fight against crime and terrorism. It also expressed the ambition to cooperate more closely on foreign policy, social policy and defence.

The 1990s also witnessed significant progress in Taiwan’s transition to democracy and economic development. In addition to reflecting on the significance of the Maastricht Treaty and some of the milestones in Taiwan's development, this year's dinner will once again be celebrating the close cooperation between the Taiwan government and the local and European business community in Taiwan that has been built over more than 30 years and formed the bedrock for shared prosperity. 

The ECCT has invited President Tsai Ing-wen as our guest of honour and keynote speaker. As in previous years, we will also invite some 200 other prominent guests, including cabinet ministers, senior government officials, city mayors and leaders of Taiwanese business groups. This event is a unique networking opportunity for ECCT members to invite their business associates and colleagues to mingle with some 700 attending guests.

The Europe Day Dinner is renowned for its programme, which will include a dinner featuring fine European cuisine and a selection of excellent European wines, champagne and an assortment of other drinks to make the evening even more enjoyable for you and your guests.

Members can reserve either a table or individual seats for the Europe Day Dinner. Government officials are invited as guests of the ECCT at no cost to members. As is tradition, the ECCT will be donating a portion of proceeds to a local charity organisation. We further offer the opportunity for member companies to become corporate sponsors of the event and have the opportunity to communicate their brands to a very targeted audience.
