1.2 The measures taken by the industrial development authority

      In response to the environmental protection requirements becoming higher and stricter, the enterprises could only take concerted actions, although with some complaints. The difficulty was that most small and medium enterprises could not afford to invest in facilities to prevent and control pollution. One solution adopted by the government was to provide long-term low interest rate loans to the enterprises with certain qualifications. For instance, in 1979 low interest rate loans were provided with a fund from the Sino-American Funds of the Executive Yuan to support small and medium enterprises to establish equipment for pollution prevention and control. These loans were managed by the Taiwan Small and Medium Enterprise Bank and the First Commercial Bank. The annual interest rate was 4 per cent. Enterprises whose actual capital was less than NT$40 million and total assets less than NT$120 million qualified for this loan. To begin with, this program applied to electroplating, dyeing and finishing, paper, leather, iron and steel, chemical and other designated industries with an urgent pollution problem.
