The European Economic and Trade Office (EETO), Environmental Protection Administration (EPA), Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), the EU Member States offices in Taiwan, and the EU Centre in Taiwan jointly cleaned the Wanlin beachside in New Taipei City on 17 October 2020. Led by the EU Representative Filip Grzegorzewski, EPA Minister Chang Tzi-Chin, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Harry Tseng, and Representatives and Deputy Representatives of the EU Member States in Taiwan, the event gathered nearly 200 staff and family members of the European and Taiwanese offices, and collected over 440 kg of waste. This year, due to the COVID19 pandemic, Taiwan was among the very few places where the EU delegations worldwide could host a physical cleanup event.
