(Central News Agency reporter Ho Hsiu-ling, Taipei, 6th) Regarding the dispute over the operating rights of the Taipei Main Station commercial complex, Breeze Group questioned the Taiwan Railways Administration's selection process, alleging conflicts of interest and information leakage. Taiwan Railways Administration General Manager Feng Hui-sheng stated that Breeze submitted an objection on May 4th, and according to regulations, a proper response will be provided within 20 days from the next day. Breeze, however, urged Taiwan Railways Administration to postpone the final contract signing procedure until the dispute is clarified.
The bidding results for the Taipei Main Station commercial complex operating rights were announced on April 28th this year. Taiwan Railways Administration announced that Shin Kong Mitsukoshi was listed as the top priority applicant, with "Breeze Plaza Industry Co., Ltd." as the second-best applicant. However, Breeze questioned the selection process and evaluation mechanism, believing that the review committee members were involved in conflicts of interest.
Breeze today issued a statement expressing respect for Taiwan Railways Administration General Manager Feng Hui-sheng's explanation of the objection procedure. Breeze stated that it had supplemented and resubmitted its objection application on May 4th as required, and the case has now entered the statutory dispute resolution process.
Breeze pointed out that currently, only Breeze Group has raised an objection. The reason is that based on facts and responsibility, it is necessary to raise specific questions regarding multiple ambiguities that arose during the selection process. If the selection process was indeed fair and flawless, the relevant objections would naturally not stand and should be clarified through the review process.
Breeze stated that before major disputes are clarified, it urges Taiwan Railways Administration to carefully assess relevant risks and postpone the final contract signing procedure before completing negotiations and signing the contract, to avoid irreversible legal and procedural disputes later.
Breeze also stated that it looks forward to Taiwan Railways Administration's response within the statutory period, providing specific explanations for the dispute to clarify public concerns and uphold the procedural legitimacy of this case. Breeze Group will continue to protect its rights and interests in accordance with relevant legal procedures. (Editor: Zhai Sijia) 1150506
