Taiwan Thinktank yesterday urged the legislature to debate the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) article by article, to abolish what it called the “unconstitutional” cross-strait economic cooperation committee and establish a supervisory mechanism to oversee future cross-strait accords. It said failure to do so would give undue power to “unaccountable” and “un-elected” individuals.

Taiwan Thinktank executive director Cheng Li-chiun (鄭麗君) called on the legislature to hold public hearings and debate the accord article-by-article and vote on each provision.
