地點：台北世貿中心信義路5段5號2樓第3、4、5會議室

　　各位貴賓、各位女士、各位先生大家好：
　　首先本人謹代表台北市進出口商業同業公會感謝並歡迎各位貴賓於百忙之中抽空前來參加「２００７年全球優良商品暨型錄展」開幕典禮，本展是由國際貿易局指導，由本會主辦，外貿協會合辦，及22個各國駐台灣辦事處，來徵集其國內優良的商品型錄及樣品所共同展出。同時，今年適逢本會成立６０年，本展是本會一系列的慶祝活動之一，所以今天非常高興見到各位貴賓及廠商於百忙之中抽空前來參觀本展，共同創造國內外廠商貿易合作的機會。
　　本會自成立以來，一向以促進台灣的國際貿易和服務進出口業者為宗旨。除了作為廠商和政府的溝通橋樑，向政府建言、維護廠商權益外，也經常辦理各項活動，如參展團、觀展團、貿易洽談會、市場研討會等，以協助業者拓銷海外市場，及向國外採購進口商品。在全球化的競爭態勢之下，貿易業的經營愈需要擴大與外界合作分工的能力，台灣的企業由於多屬於中小企業，資源相對有限，更需要外界的支援，為業者引進商機。本會因此經常與各國駐台灣辦事處共同合作辦理活動，產品型錄及樣品展就是其中之一，過去辦理多次以來，廣受進口業者的歡迎及期盼，參展的辦事處也相當肯定其成效，所以今年配合本會成立６０年慶的活動，特別擴大辦理，參展單位較往年增加，有歐洲的奧地利、比利時、荷蘭、瑞典、英國， 亞洲的印尼、日本、韓國、馬來西亞、菲律賓，北美洲的墨西哥、美國在台協會農業貿易辦事處、愛達荷州、密蘇里州、亞利桑那州、馬里蘭州、蒙大拿州、賓夕凡尼亞州，大洋洲的澳洲、斐濟等駐華單位，以及中華民國中東歐暨獨立國協經貿協會參加展出，本會在此特別向這些單位的支持表示感謝，也對因場地面積有限而無法參展的其他國家辦事處致歉，希望明年有更多的單位能夠共襄盛舉，共同為業者促成商機。
　　本展此次在上述參展國家的支持之下，將展出數百種深具市場潛力的國外優質商品，內容相當豐富，廠商可仔細蒐尋有興趣的商品，各國辦事處的工作人員也會從旁協助解說，為了增添展覽趣味，也由各單位準備了具國家特色的摸彩品，提供於展後摸彩。本人僅在此預祝各位廠商都能從今明兩天的展覽中有很好的收穫。
　　最後，再次感謝各位貴賓與廠商蒞臨本展參觀與指導，預祝本展圓滿成功、並祝各位身體健康、生意興隆、萬事如意。謝謝各位。

「International Catalogue and Sample Show 2007」

Opening Ceremony Remarks

by Mr. Lee, Shih-Wen, Executive Director of IEAT

Time: 11 a.m., Monday, June 11
Place: Meeting rooms no. 3, 4, 5, Level 2, (Taipei World Trade Center)

Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:
　　Good morning.  On behalf of the Importers and Exporters Association of Taipei, I wish to welcome all of you to the opening ceremony of the International Catalogue and Sample Show 2007.  As the organizer, the IEAT is thankful to all those who have made this event possible - event sponsor the Board of Foreign Trade, co-organizer TAITRA, and the twenty-two foreign Trade Representatives participating to put on display such a comprehensive collection of catalogues and samples of high-quality products from each country. Also worthy of note is that this show is one of the many activities held to mark the IEAT 60th founding anniversary. It is, therefore, our honor that you grace the occasion to contribute to further opportunities of trade cooperation.
　　Since its establishment, the IEAT has been committed to serving the needs of importers and exporters as well as promoting the country's foreign trade. Our efforts go beyond protecting members' interests, acting as a bridge between government and the industry, and making policy recommendations. All the year round, there are various activities to help members develop overseas outlets or make purchase of foreign products. These include study missions, exhibition tours, trade negotiations or seminars on market outlets. With globalization, competition is taking on new forms. The trading industry must learn to operate by increased division of job and cooperation with other sectors. Particularly local companies, which are consist mostly medium and small-sized ventures with limited resources; they need to reach out to foreign businesses for further growth. In view of this, the IEAT has been working closely with various foreign trade representatives on activities of mutual interests. One such project is the annual International Catalogue and Sample Show, which enjoys great success. The event this year, held in conjunction with the IEAT 60th anniversary, operates on a scale larger than any before. Representation from a larger number of regions has brought about increased participation. There are from Europe the representative offices of Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom; from Asia, the offices of Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines; from North America, those of Mexico, the AIT Agricultural Trade Office, and the states of Iowa, Missouri, Arizona, Maryland, Montana, and Pennsylvania; from Oceania, Australia and Fiji; and last but not least, the Central, Eastern Europe and CIS Association. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your participation and cooperation. To those of you who have not been able to take part in the show, I wish to express regret for the lack of space and I look forward to your participation next year.
　　In this show, there are hundreds of fine, high-quality products of enormous market potential. The rich variety is sure to offer something that might interest you. Take your time browsing. Feel free to approach the staff manning the booths. Have fun in the lucky draw; prizes consist of souvenir items from each participating country. I wish you many wonderful moments browsing the exhibits.
　　Finally, I would like to thank you once again for being here with us on today. I wish the show every success, and every one of you great health and happiness.
　　Thank you.
