In the past most people have thought that if Taiwan wants to raise its level of production, it must cast aside such "sunset industries" as clothing, furniture, shoe manufacturing and leather goods. "The Mini-Europe Plan is aimed at giving these traditional industries a second spring," says Frank Huang, chairman of the executive committee for the plan.
過去一般人總認為台灣要產業升級，就要放棄時裝、傢具、製鞋、皮件等「夕陽產業」，「小歐洲計畫卻是要為這些傳統產業創造第二春」，小歐洲計畫執行小組執行長黃孝寬說。
