PARIS (AFX) - Alstom SA said Klaus Esser, the former chief executive of
Germany's Mannesmann, has resigned as a member of Alstom's board of directors
"for personal reasons."
Esser is one of several executives on trial in a German court over the large
bonuses paid to officials of Mannesmann during its takeover by Vodafone PLC four
years ago.
Esser was also a member of Alstom's audit committee. The company has not yet
appointed a replacement for Esser, but said it will do so at a future board
meeting.

TAIPEI (AFX-ASIA) - Taiwan said it has canceled two cabinet officials'
planned visits to France to protest French President Jacques Chirac's open
criticism of the island's referendum plan.
Premier Yu Shyi-kun told reporters Council for Cultural Affairs Minister
Tchen Yu-chiou and National Science Council Minister Wei Che-ho have called off
plans to visit Paris early next month as a protest against Chirac's siding with
China.
"We will suspend the exchange programs until there is a proper reaction from
France," Yu said.
Wei had been scheduled to host the presentation of the Taiwan-France
technology prize on Feb 4.
Tchen had planned to present a cultural prize on Feb 2, give a speech at the
Institut de France on Feb 3 and attend the opening ceremony of a Taiwan
handicraft exhibition on Feb 5.
Taiwanese ministries have reached a consensus to put off certain cultural
exchange programs with France "for the dignity and interest of our country,"
said foreign ministry spokesman Richard Shih.
Chirac, while hosting Chinese President Hu Jintao, said on Monday that the
planned March 20 referendum on Taiwan's ties with China was "a grave mistake."
"France condemns an initiative such as the referendum, which can appear as
aggressive," Chirac told a news conference on Tuesday, calling the vote
"dangerous for everybody and, therefore, irresponsible."
France "opposes any unilateral step, including a referendum aimed at
changing the status quo, which would increase tensions in the Straits and lead
to the independence of Taiwan," a declaration said.
President Chen Shui-bian, after his deputy Annette Lu's condemnation of
Chirac yesterday, accused his French counterpart of interfering with the
island's domestic affairs.
"France has practised the referendum system since 1791 as part of its
democracy...Even President Chirac held a national plebiscite in 2000," Chen
said.
"It's incomprehensible to me that the government leader of a country having
over 200 years of history practising the referendum system has interfered in the
internal affairs of another country," Chen told Fernando Sanchez-Arias, world
president of the Junior Chamber International.
He reiterated his stand that introduction of the referendum system is part
of Taiwan's democratic development.
Chen has toned down the wording of the questions in the referendum, to be
held along side the March 20 presidential elections.
Instead of urging China to remove the 496 ballistic missiles targeting the
island, voters will be asked about beefing up Taiwan's defensive capabilities
against the mainland's military threat.
They will also be asked to vote on whether or not to negotiate for peaceful
coexistence with China.
Beijing, which considers Taiwan part of its territory, sees the move as part
of a drive towards independence, a claim Taiwan denies.

TAIPEI (AFX-ASIA) - A 'bullet train' being built for Taiwan in Japan is set
to roll out of the factory this coming week, Taiwan's rail operator said Sunday.
"The debut of the 700T locomotive and carriages will be a milestone in the
project," a spokeswoman for the Taiwan High Speed Rail Corp. (THSRC) told Agence
France-Presse.
Taiwan's Transport Minister Lin Ling-san and THSRC chairwoman Nita Ing will
attend the ceremony in Kobe on Friday, the spokeswoman said.
Japan has also attached great importance to the mulit-billion-dollar project
as it is the first time Japan has exported the high-speed bullet train, also
known as Shinkansen.
A Japanese consortium of seven companies signed the deal with THSRC for the
supply of the core system -- trains and carriages, signalling system,
electrification system, communications system and operation control system -- at
a price of 3.02 bln usd in 2000 ahead of the Eurotrain consortium.
The seven Japanese companies are Mitsui Corp, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries,
Mitsubishi Corp, Marubeni Corp, Sumitomo Corp, Kawasaki Heavy Industries and
Toshiba Electric.
The first train is scheduled to be shipped to Taiwan in the middle of the
year and set to be tested in the third quarter.
The 345 kilometer high-speed rail linking the northern capital Taipei city
and the southern Kaohsiung city is slated to begin commercial operation in
October next year.
The system, with the trains running at an average speed of 300 kilometers an
hour, is expected to transport 100 mln passengers a year.
The service would cut the journey time between Taipei and Kaohsiung from
about four hours to an hour and a half.
In 1998 THSRC won the 440 bln dollar contract to build the system under
Taiwan's largest ever BOT (build-operate-transfer) project, under which the rail
system will be managed by the THSRC for 35 years before is is turned over to
state control.
