Recently the endangered species of wild fauna and flora used in TCM have been held under a spotlight by CITES-implementing countries. USA and other western countries have suspected Oriental countries might not keep the regulation of CITES effectively for the continuous use of endangered species such as tiger bone, rhino horn, bear gallbladder and others. However, most of Oriental countries have tried to keep CITES truly. The misunderstanding of culture and thought in Oriental countries can be one of important factors. Thus, for effective implementation of CITES, we have to keep communication with western countries especially in the principles of TCM or others and vice versa. In addition, TCM using countries and counterpart countries should prevent illegal trade of endangered species in TCM and also fry to develop natural or synthesized substitutes for endangered species. We have to continue to develop methods to artificially propagate endangered species, while trying to alleviate the ethical problems entailed by breeding in captivity. In south Korea we also have to make known our implementation of CITES such as reinforced law for prohibition of using CITES items, public awareness by training program, brochure and surveys to other countries.

이 연구의 목적은 "목재의 지속가능한 이용에 관한 법률"에 근거하여 불법목재의 교역을 제한하는 제도 시행에 앞서 국내 목재시장에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 수행하였다. 시나리오 작성을 위해 부패인식지수를 활용하였고 이를 바탕으로 균형대체방정식 모형을 이용하여 정책실험을 수행하였다. 원목의 균형가격 변화율은 0.066%~0.071% 범위에서 상승할 것으로 분석되었다. 원목가격의 상승은 파생수요의 관계에 있는 제재목의 생산비에 반영되어 제재목의 공급량을 감소시킨다. 상품유형별로 대체효과에 의한 국산재 수요 확대와 국내 가격상승에 의한 공급량 확대를 감안하여 분석한 결과, 국산 제재목 가격 변화율의 범위는 0.885%~4.179%에서 증가하는 것으로 분석되었으며 이에 따라 국산 제재목의 공급량은 적어도 5.367% 증가될 것으로 나타났다.

Parrots have been threatened by global trade to meet their high demand as pets. Controlling parrot trade is essential because parrots play a vital role in the ecosystem. Accurate species identification is crucial for controlling parrot trade. Parrots have been traded as eggs due to their advantages of lower mortality rates and more accessible transport than live parrots. A molecular method is required to identify parrot eggs because it is difficult to perform identification using morphological features. In this study, DNAs were obtained from 43 unidentified parrot eggs using a non-destructive sampling method. Partial cytochrome b (CYTB) gene was then successfully amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequenced. Sequences newly obtained in the present study were compared to those available in the GenBank by database searching. In addition, phylogenetic analysis was conducted to identify species using available sequences in GenBank along with sequences reported in previous studies. Finally, the 43 parrot eggs were successfully identified as seven species belonging to two families and seven genera. This non-destructive sampling method for obtaining DNA and molecular identification might help control the trade of parrot eggs and prevent their illegal trade.

The international community's sanctions against North Korea, triggered by North Korea's nuclear tests and by missile development in the country, are considered the strongest sanctions in history, banning exports of North Korea's major items and limiting imports of machinery and oil products. Accordingly, North Korea's trade volume decreased to the level of collapse after the sanctions, meaning that the sanctions against North Korea were considered to be effective. However, according to this paper, which analyzed the price fluctuations of refined petroleum products in North Korea through the methodology of an event study, the market prices of oil products were only temporarily affected by the sanctions and remained stable over the long run despite the restrictions on the volumes of refined petroleum products introduced. This can be explained by evidence that North Korea has introduced refined oil supplies that are not much different from those before the sanctions through its use of illegal transshipments even after the sanctions. With regard to strategic materials such as refined oil, the North Korean authorities are believed to be desperately avoiding sanctions by, for instance, finding loopholes in the sanctions to meet the minimum level of demand.

Despite the deep concerns against the DPRK and the harsh sanctions imposed on it, the country renders the sanctions futile by facilitating various illegal trades such as the ship-to-ship transfers of petroleum or coal. Recently, the international community went into paying attention to solve this matter. Among the measures the community can take, "reinforcing the search and inspection of the DPRK related vessels transiting in the high and territorial seas" is the best policy approach to reduce the sanction evasion and provide the international community with considerable bargaining advantages. This measure requires the forceful action by legal enforcement agencies, also known as VBSS. (Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure) It would make the deals prohibited by the UNSCRs (United Nation Security Council Resolutions) less profitable by reducing the expected return on the deals and increasing the cost for them. So, it would make the illegal deals under the table less attractive. The DPRK has been able to render the sanctions futile by exploiting the limitations of the current maritime sanctions. The resolutions are short of being specific about law enforcement, and the PSI (Proliferation Security Initiative) is legally nonbinding. However, if the UNSCRs and the PSI are combined, they can generate a new source of power and exploit the weakness of the DPRK. Noting that the recent UNSCRs stipulated all the legal discussions in the resolutions are confined and applied only to the DPRK, the PSI can target the commercial trade as well as the WMD-related materials in the case of the DPRK's illegal maritime practices. Therefore, the PSI endorsing partners should go beyond mere commitments. They should discuss action plans to implement the maritime interdictions to the extent that they discourage the DPRK and its business partners continuing the illegal activities.

Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng) and American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) are widely used medicinal plants with similar morphology but different medicinal efficacy. Roots, flowers, and processed products of Korean and American ginseng can be difficult to differentiate from each other, leading to illegal trade in which one species is sold as the other. This study was carried out to develop convenient and reliable chloroplast genome-derived DNA markers for authentication of Korean and American ginseng in commercial processed products. One codominant marker could reproducibly identify both species and intentional mixtures of the two species. We further developed a set of species-unique dominant DNA markers. Each species-specific dominant marker could detect 1% cross contamination with other species by low resolution agarose gel electrophoresis or quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Both markers were successfully applied to evaluate the original species from various processed ginseng products purchased from markets in Korea and China. We believe that high-throughput application of this marker system will eradicate illegal trade and promote confident marketing for both species to increase the value of Korean as well as American ginseng in Korea and worldwide.

인류 기술의 발전은 고래자원 고갈로 이어졌으며, 고래자원의 보존과 포경산업의 질서 있는 발전을 위해 국제포경위원회가 설립되었다. 상업포경 모라토리엄이 발효 이후 고래고기 등의 국제거래는 전면 금지되었다. 그러나 국내의 경우 혼획된 고래는 유통이 가능하여 포획 시 경제적 이득 때문에 선박을 불법으로 개조하여 조직적으로 활동하고 있다. 이에 적극적으로 단속하고 있지만 불법포획 및 유통을 막기에는 부족한 실정이다. 이러한 불법포획 및 유통을 막기 위해서는 항공전력과 경비함을 이용한 입체적인 단속이 효과적이며, 나포된 포획선과 선원들을 신속히 분리하여 증거인멸을 방지해야 한다. 투명한 유통을 위해서는 국립수산과학원의 고래 DNA 데이터베이스를 기반으로 한 법과학 기관의 DNA를 활용한 고래 종판별 및 개체식별 등의 관련기술 고도화가 필요하다. 이에 해양경찰연구센터에서는 관련된 국가R&D연구과제를 직접 수행하고 있으며, 고래혈흔에 특이적으로 반응하는 신속검사 키트 개발 및 증거물 이송팩을 제작·배포하여 고래 관련 증거물에 대한 현장 감식 효율을 높이고 감정 기술 고도화를 위한 연구를 진행중이다.

본 연구의 목적은 고부가가치 창출을 위한 부산항 환적화물 유치 속성과 항만경쟁력이 무엇인지를 밝히고자 하였다. 환적화물 경쟁력을 항만물동량과 시장점유율로 정의하고 환적항만 환경요인을 내부환경과 외부환경으로 구분하여 이들이 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 연구결과 최적의 환적항만이 되기 위해서는 내부환경으로 배후규모와 입지, 시설 및 요율이, 외부환경으로는 국제 네트워크와 물류관리 정보화가 물동량증가에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 환적화물 유치전략을 극대화하기 위한 방안을 제시하면 첫째 입항에서 하역, 운송, 가공, 선적에 이르는 일괄관리시스템을 구축하여야 한다. 둘째, 관세법에서 규정한 개항을 자유무역지역으로 지정하여 관세 및 내국세 비과세를 통한 외국자본의 유업 및 물동량 증가라는 시스템을 구축하여야 한다. 셋째, 자본의 자유로운 이동을 위하여 불법적인 자본이동을 제외한 외국환거래의 대폭적인 자유화를 보장하여 화주 및 선박회사의 부산항 화물유치 증대 및 투자유치를 적극 추진하여야 한다.
