우리 농산업에게 2012년은 그간 예견되었던 위기가 표면화되고, 그에 대한 도전이 구체화 되는 시기가 될 것이다. 우리 농산업의 변화에 있어서 주목해야 할 키워드는 (1) FTA, (2) 건강, (3) 치유농업, (4) 농촌에 대한 재인식, (5) 애그리비즈니스, (6) 다문화, (7)신 소비문화의 등장, (8) 기후변화로 총 8가지가 대표된다. FTA는 한-미, 한-EU, 한-중이 복합적으로 작용할 시기이며, 건강은 여전히 가장 관심이 높은 분야이고, 치유농업은 소외계층, 학교폭력에 대한 새로운 대안으로 부각될 것으로 예상되고, 주 5일제 전면시행에 따라 우리 농업 농촌에 대한 국민들의 인식전환이 이루어질 것으로 예상된다. 애그리비즈니스 분야에서는 상품, 콘텐츠, 서비스, 소통을 모두 갖춘 농가만이 성공할 수 있다는 것이 드러나는 한 해가 될 것이며, 다문화 가정의 경우, '함께 사는 우리'가 되는 과정에서 문제점과 새로운 해결책이 제시되는 한 해가 될 전망이다. 농산물 소비의 새로운 고객층으로 떠오른 젊은 지식인층에 의한 소비문화의 분화와 영원한 숙제인 기후변화도 주목해야 할 키워드이다.

As crimes have increased to an extent that the police cannot cope with, there have been continuous discussions for the introduction of Private Investigation (hereafter PI) in Korea. However, attempts to legislate for the introduction of PI have failed every time PI bills for the introduction of PI were proposed. This was fundamentally because arguments both for and against the introduction of PI were sharply divided depending on the priorities. However, regardless of those clash of views, an apparent need for the legislation of PI service has arisen. As Korea opens its service market to other countries through GATS and FTAs, currently existing domestic PI law has been found to be inconsistent with international agreements such as GATS and KOREA-US(KORUS) FTA. This paper found that the Act on Usage and Protection of Credit Information which regulates PI service is inconsistent with the Article 12.4(a)(i) and (iii) of KORUS FTA and the Article 7.11 and the Article 7.13 of KOREA-EU FTA. If Korea does not modify the existing laws and establish new laws in relation to PI, such inconsistencies could lead to international trade disputes which could amount to billions of dollars. In this regard, the passage of the PI bill is necessary.

The economic development system of Korea is based on export-oriented strategy and the free trade agreement. So Korea is trying to conclude the free trade agreement with China, Japan, and EU. The reason is that Korea will have more chances to develop there economy scale and trade surplus, but it will give the worst economic situation. The research showed that the effects of FTA on Korea's GDP will be much greater than China's and Korea's trade surplus with China will expand in the manufacturing sector, but agricultural and marine products are layed in opposite situation. Especially comparing with other Provincial, Gwangju Jeonnam has a relative importance portion of agricultural and marine products. So, Gwangju Jeonnam have to prepare the effects of agricultural and marine products under the Korea China FTA.

For customs-free and liberalization on the trade of aircraft parts, the WTO Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft was separately concluded as plurilateral trade agreement at the time of launching WTO in 1995, and currently 33 countries including the United States and the EU are acceded but Korea does not. Major details of the Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft include product coverage, the elimination of customs duties and other charges, the prohibition of government-directed procurement of civil aircraft, the application of the Agreement on Subsides and Countervailing Measures, and the consultation on issues related to this Agreement and dispute resolution. Article 89 paragraph 6 of the current Customs Act was newly established on December 31, 2018, and the tariff reduction rate for imports of aircraft parts will be reduced in stages from May 2019 and the tariff reduction system will be abolished in 2026. Accordingly, looking at the impact of the Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft on the aviation industry, first, as for the impact on the air transport industry, an tariff allotment of the domestic air transport industry is expected to reach about 160 billion won a year from 2026, and upon acceding to the Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft, the domestic air transport industry will be able to import aircraft parts at no tariff, so it will not have to pay 3 to 8 percent import duties. Second, as for the impact on the aviation MRO industry, if the tariff reduction system for aircraft parts is phased out or abolished in stages, overseas outsourcing costs in the engine maintenance and parts maintenance are expected to increase, and upon acceding to the Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft, the aviation MRO industry will be able to import aircraft parts at no tariff, so it will reduce overseas outsourcing costs. If the author proposes a policy direction for the trade liberalization of aircraft parts to ensure competitiveness of the aviation industry, first, as for the tariff reduction by the use of FTA, in order to be favored with the tariff reduction by the use of FTA, it is necessary to secure the certificate of origin from foreign traders in the United States and the EU, and to revise the provisions of Korea-Singapore and Korea-EU FTA. Second, as for the push of acceding to the Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft, it would be resonable to push the acceding to Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft for customs-free on the trade of aircraft parts, as the tariff reduction method by the use of FTA has limits. Third, as for the improvement of the tariff reduction system for aircraft parts under the Customs Act, it is expected that there will take a considerable amount of time until the acceding to the Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft, so separate improvement measures are needed to continue the tariff reduction system of aircraft parts under Article 89 paragraph 6 of the Customs Act. In conclusion, Korea should accede to the WTO Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft to create an environment in which our aviation industry can compete fairly with foreign aviation industries and ensure competitiveness by achieving customs-free and liberalization on the trade of aircraft parts.

A Certificate of Origin is used in international trade. It is a printed form, completed by the exporter or its agent and certified by an issuing body, attesting that the goods in a particular export shipment have been wholly produced, manufactured or processed in a particular country. FTA rules of origin in recent FTA agreement is a very complex procedure that requires international negotiations in the field has become the largest issues. Case of Korea-Chile FTA, starting with the origin criteria for each agreements is inconsistent due to differences between countries is an area that is not easy to negotiate. This study is covered in the agreement signed on the origin criteria for adequate review and comparison by item currently being pursued through the FTA was signed during the implications that can be applied to the agricultural sector has to offer.

This study reviews the concept and protection system for the geographical Indication(GI) to support the Korea-EU FTA. A geographical indication(GI) is a name or sign used on certain products or which corresponds to a specific geographical indication or origin (eg. a town, region, or country). The use of a GI may act as a certification that the product possesses certain qualities, or enjoys a certain reputation, due to its geographical origin. In the WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual property Rights("TRIPS"). There are, in effect, two basic obligations from Article 22 to article 23 on WTO member governments relating to GIs in the TRIPS agreement. Geographical Indications have long been associated with Europe as an entity, where there is a tradition of associating certain food products with particular regions, Under European Union Law, the protected designation of origin system which came into effect in 1992 and 2003 regulates the following geographical indications: Protected designation of origin(PDO) and protected geographical indication(PGI) and Traditional Specialty Guaranteed(TSG). They have 5,000 articles for GI. We have the GI system and 40 articles rotating to registration by the law for quality management of production in agriculture. Cinclusinally, geographical indications could potentially serve as tools to helf holders of trade benefit more equitable through the mutual Acceptance for Korea-EU FTA.

소비자가 원하는 고품질의 돼지고기를 생산하는 농가의 역할이 필요할 요즘, 특히 한 미, 한 EU FTA에 의한 연간 손해액이 1조원이 넘는다는 양돈자조금 연구용역 결과와 향상되지 않는 생산성(MSY) 등 어려운 양돈환경을 어떻게 극복할 것이냐가 관건이며, 그 방법은 다양할 것이다. 우선 생산성을 높이고 차후에 품질을 고급화하는 것도 방법일 것이고, 단기간에 생산성을 높이기 어려우면 살아남은 돼지만이라도 품질을 향상시켜 시장에 출하한다면 소비자의 관심도 높아지고 또한 소비도 안정적으로 이어질 것이다. 이에 10 11월호에 걸쳐 농가의 대응방안을 논하고자 한다.

재작년부터 우리는 역사 이래 유례없는 홍역을 앓고 있다. AI, 구제역, 광우병, 신종플루 등 질병의 공포에 우리가 먹을 돼지고기마저 1/3을 땅속에 묻은 바 있다. 더구나, 재작년 말 구제역 영향으로 국내 돼지고기 가격이 kg당 6,000원 이상의 높은 가격을 기록하면서 정부가 할당관세 등의 조치를 취하는 등 공급량을 통해 가격안정 효과를 꾀했으나 소비자들이 피부로 느끼기에는 한계가 있었던 것으로 기억한다. 2012년 3월 14일, 한 미 FTA가 발효되었다. 한 EU FTA('11.7) 발효에 이어 시장개방이 가속화됨에 따라 우리나라는 무한 경쟁시대에 돌입했다. 자국의 자원만으로 생존할 수 없기에 시장 개방을 통한 수급은 어쩌면 반드시 필요한 일이라고 볼 수 있지만, 그로인한 축산업의 변화 또한 불가피한 상황에 직면해 있다. 본문에서는 현 상황에서 앞으로 변화가능한 우리나라 축산업의 미래를 생각해보고 그 대비를 위해 서둘러야 힘을 공감해 보고자 한다.

Certificates of Origin(C/O) are necessary to gain benefits from preferential tariff treatment under the Free Trade Agreement(FTA). The C/O can be issued by issuing authorities or by exporters themselves. Recently, due to signed FTA such as Korean-EU FTA, issuance of self-declared C/O by exporters is increasing. In order to be qualified to issue self -declared C/O, exporters are required to acquire Approved Exporter status. An Approved Exporter is only required to present an invoice to substitute the certificate. The invoice contains an Approved Exporter number and a declaration that states the goods comply with the origin requirements. Either certification or notarization is not necessary. In result, the exporters are responsible for application of a preferential tariff under the self-declared C/O which issued incorrectly, even if it is not intentional. Therefore, in this paper, we studied authorization for Approved Exporter status and the practical use of its status. If companies obtain more Approved Exporter status, the effects of FTA would be maximized due to application of a preferential tariff under the C/O.
