근래 우리나라의 특별시·광역시·도 및 시·군·구 등 전국적으로 유통분쟁조정위원회 조례가 제정 또는 개정되고 있다. 이는 유통산업발전법에 의거하여 각 지방자치단체에서 유통분쟁조정위원회를 설치하고 운영하기위한 것이다. 특별시·광역시·도에 설치된 유통분쟁조정위원회는 각 시·군·구에 설치 된 유통분쟁조정위원회에서 행하여 진 조정에 대하여 불복이 있는 경우 불복 신청된 조정에 대하여 조정하게 된다. 따라서 특별시·광역시·도의 유통분쟁조정위원회는 시·군·구 유통분쟁조정위원회의 상급의 조정위원회라고 할 수 있다. 이들 조례에 의한 유통분쟁조정위원회의 조정을 위한 규정에 여러 가지 문제점이 나타나고 있다. 또한 유통분쟁조정에 대한 역사가 일천하고 축적된 경험이 없어 그 운영에도 어려움이 예상되고 있다. 그리하여 이 논문에서는 이 같은 우리나라유통분쟁조정위원회의 조정제도의 문제점을 각 지자체의 조례에 근거하여 찾아보고 또한 실제 유통분쟁위원회의 조정시에 고려하여야 할 사항을 모색하였다. 유통분쟁조정위원회 조례상의 문제점으로서는 위원회위원장의 선임문제를 비롯하여 위원장의 직무대행, 위원회 회의 의결, 조정신청의 통합, 유통분쟁조정위원회 위원의 기피 등을 지적하고 그 해결방안을 제시하였다. 또한 실제 조정시의 우선적인 고려사항으로서는 대규모유통업자와 지역 도소매업자 상생의 원칙을 비롯한 상호협력방안을 제시하였다.

At its thirty-second session in 1999, the UNCITRAL had before it the requested note entitled "Possible future work in the area of international commercial arbitration." After concluding the discussion on its future work in the area of international commercial arbitration, it was agreed that the priority items for the working group should be conciliation, requirement of written form for the arbitration and enforceability of interim measures of protection. the Commission entrusted the work to the Working Group on Arbitration which held its thirty-second session at Vienna from 20 to 31 March 2000. The Working Group discussed agenda item 3 on the basis of the report of Secretary General entitled "Possible uniform rules on certain issues concerning settlement of commercial disputes : conciliation, interim measures of protection, written form for arbitration agreement." At its thirty-three session in 2000, the UNCITRAL had before it the report of Secretary General on agenda item 3 discussed by the Working Group. The Working Group discussed the issues relating to certain aspects of conciliation proceedings ; (1) Admissibility of certain evidence in subsequent judicial or arbitral proceedings ; (2) Role of conciliatior in arbitration or court proceedings ; (3) Enforceability of settlement agreements reached in conciliation proceedings ; (4) Other possible items for harmonized treatment : a) Admissibility or desirability of conciliation by arbitrators b) Effect of an agreement to conciliate on judicial or arbitral proceedings c) Effect of conciliation on the running of limitation period d) Communication between the conciliator and parties ; disclosure of information e) Role of conciliator. It was generally considered that decisions as to the form of the text to be prepared should be made at a later stage when the substance of prepared solutions would become clearer. However, it was noted that model legislative provisions seemed to be appropriate form for a number of matters proposed to be discussed in the area conciliation. There was general support in the Working Group for the proposition to perpare a legislative regime governing the enforcement of interim measures of protection ordered by arbitral tribunals. It was generally considered that legislative regime should apply to enforcement of interim measures issued in arbitration taking place in State where enforcement was sought as well as outside that State. It was generally observed that there was a need for provisions which conformed to current practice in international trade with regard to requirements of written form for arbitration agreement. The view was adopted by the Working Group that the objective of ensuring a uniform interpretation of the form requirement that responded to the needs of international trade could be achieved by : preparing a model legislative provision clarifying, for avoidance of doubt, the scope of article 7(2) of the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration : and adopting a declaration, resolution or statement addressing the interpretation of the New York Convention that would reflect a broad understanding of the form requirement. There was general agreement in the Working Group that, in order to promote the use of electronic commerce for international trade and leave the parties free to agree to the use of arbitration in the electronic commerce sphere, article II(2) of the New York Convention should be interpreted to cover the use of electronic means of communication as defined un article 2 of the Model Law on Electronic Commerce and that it required no amendment to do that. The UNCITRAL may wish to consider to the desirability of preparing uniform provisions on any of those issues concerning conciliation and arbitration proceedings, possibly indicating whether future work should be towards a legislative text or non-legislative text.
