Every year, on the Sunday closest to 11 November, a Remembrance Day event is held at Jinguashi in northern Taiwan, or Kinkaseki, as it was known to the Japanese. Jinguashi was the site of a Prisoner of War camp during World War II, one of 14 such camps in Taiwan. In all, over 4,300 Commonwealth and other Allied prisoners of war were incarcerated in Taiwan in appalling conditions. More than 1,100 prisoners of war were sent to Kinkaseki camp between 1942 and 1945. Mr Michael Hurst MBE, Director of the Taiwan POW Camps Memorial Society has done much to keep the memory of these POWs alive. The Society’s website contains a wealth of information: www.powtaiwan.org. This year is the 70th Anniversary of the end of World War II. For information about participating in this year’s special Remembrance Day event held on 15 November, please contact Tina Wu at the Canadian Trade Office in Taipei - Tel: (02) 8723-3031or email to [email protected] by 5 pm on 11 November.

Australian Office Statement

The Australian Office informed Taiwan government authorities of the following information concerning five shipments of tallow imported by Namchow.

The Australian Government Department of Agriculture has investigated and has confirmed the five shipments that were the subject of Taiwan authorities’ enquiry met the requirements of the certificate agreed on 13 August 2014 with Taiwan’s Food and Drug Administration for unrefined edible tallow (Declaration and Certificate for Shipments of Tallow for Further Processing). Should it have been a requirement at the time of export, the Department would have certified this product using this certificate. That is, they were suitable to export for use in food production.

The use of words “for Industry Use” need not connote a non-edible product as it may relate to use in the food or any other industry. This unfamiliar English usage may have given rise to some misunderstanding. “Industry Use” is not the same as “Industrial Use”.

We have told Taiwan Authorities that the Department of Agriculture understands that, in this case, the goods were not intended for industrial use.
