Legislature to open Feb. 24, hold tariff briefing March 3Staff writer, with CNAThe Legislative Yuan is to open its new session on Feb. 24 and has scheduled a special briefing on the results and impact of Taiwan-US tariff negotiations for March 3, following a consensus reached during cross-party caucus consultations today. Under the agreement, Premier Cho Jung-tai (卓榮泰) is to deliver the government's policy address and administrative report on the afternoon of Feb. 24 and answer lawmakers' questions. The main chamber of the Legislative Yuan in Taipei is pictured in an undated photograph. Questioning at the March 3 session would be conducted by 10 lawmakers nominated by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) caucus, 10 by the Democratic Progressive Party caucus and two by the Taiwan People's Party (TPP) caucus. The arrangements were made after the TPP called for a dedicated report on the negotiations, with party caucuses agreeing to hold the policy address and the tariff briefing on separate days.
