In other words, “most-favored-nation treatment” (i.e. equality across all member nations) and "national treatment" (i.e. equality between local and foreign enterprises), two fundamental principles of the WTO, will allow foreign firms to compete alongside local firms in a range of different areas.

Environmental Services Industry Urged to Prepare for WTO Accession
摘要
With Taiwan's accession to the WTO approaching the EPA has been evaluating the anticipated impact liberalization will have on the environmental services industry. The EPA expressed that due to the early liberalization of this sector, free and open competition will likely have a limited impact on the domestic environmental services industry. As a condition of accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), Taiwan promises to open 11 major service industry categories, including 100 different service industry types. The EPA has indicated that Taiwan has committed to the scheduled liberalization of several environmental protection related industries, including wastewater services, solid waste treatment and disposal, sanitation and related services, waste gas treatment, noise improvement services, and nature and scenic area conservation services. Following WTO accession, foreign firms will be allowed to freely setup offices in the Taiwan area for the provision of environmental services. In other words, “most-favored-nation treatment” (i.e. equality across all member nations) and "national treatment" (i.e. equality between local and foreign enterprises), two fundamental principles of the WTO, will allow foreign firms to compete alongside local firms in a range of different areas.
