We would like to ask why the annual target for the year 2008 is smaller than 2007? Take for example the number of people taking part in the training in 2007 who are targeted to be 30 people, but in 2008 it is only 20 people. What is your justification for this? Thanks

We would like to ask why the annual target rate for the year 2008 is smaller than 2007. (this sentence is not a question, it is a statement, so i replaced the question mark with a period) Take for example, the number of people taking part in the training in 2007 was targeted to be 30 people, but in 2008, it is only 20 people. What is your justification to this?
i re-wrote it to how i believe is the correct way to carry out this group of sentences

Why is the projected annual target for 2008 smaller than in 2007? In 2007, the target for the number of people taking part in training was 30. Why would the annual target for 2008 be only 20?

Why is the annual target for the year 2008 smaller than 2007's? 2007's target is 30 people, but only 20 people are targeted in 2008. How do you justify this?
Keep it simple. Be careful with comparisons in writing; in this first sentence you compare 2008's annual target to the year 2007, not 2007's target.

EDIT:
We would like to ask why the annual target for the year 2008 is smaller than 2007. Take for example the number of people taking part in the training in 2007. It is targeted at 30 people, but in 2008 it is only 20 people. (confusing)What is your justification for this?
It is confusing because it's not clear whether 30 is the number of people signed up, or the number who are currently taking training. If it is current, you need not use the word, "targeted".

"For example, there are 30 people targeted to take part in the 2007 training, but only 20 in 2008."

Well.....
The first sentence needs no question mark un less you make it a true question:
We would like to ask: Why....?
Or
we would like to ask, "Why....?
otherwise, the way you wrote it needs no question mark.
The second sentence is very awkward. I would write it:
Take, for example, the number of people taking part in the training in 2007. It is targeted to be 30 people. But in 2008, it is targeted to be only 20 people.
hope this helps....
god bless

Possibly a comma after the word example? Otherwise, it looks fine.
