Online-ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) has been receiving attention from the international community as a means of alternative dispute resolution for consumer disputes in both small and mass international e-commerce. The EU Parliament and the Council proposed the Online Dispute Resolution Regulation for Consumer Disputes (hereafter, "EU Consumer ODR Regulation") and the Directive on Alternative Dispute Resolution of Consumer Disputes (hereafter, "EU Consumer ADR Directive") as a legislative package, now scheduled to be adopted. Those efforts strengthen consumer protection by enhancing ODR in international e-commerce and improving of the functions of the e-commerce market. The EU Consumer ADR and ODR regulation package will operate in conjunction with the ODR platform as a single point across Europe, abandoning the ADR system of each member. Consumers and traders who need dispute resolution apply on the EU ODR platform linked website, and the applications are distributed to individual ADR institutions in accordance with the Rules and Procedure of ADR institutions in the respective country. Although there has been partial progress in Korea for ODR programs such as the establishment of the Online Administrative Trial and the procedures of individual ADR agencies operating through the website, existing norms do not fully support the system. At this point, we see many implications of the EU Consumer ADR and ODR regulation package on the direction chosen for domestic ADR and ODR policy and legislation. This study introduces the main features and content of the EU Consumer ADR Directive (draft) and ODR Regulation provisions, and describes the direction of domestic policy and legislation regarding Online-ADR.

Therefore, the expansion of the cosmetics market leads to the expansion of disputes over cosmetic damage. Along with constant social changes, new conflicts continue to arise. In order to resolve these disputes, various consumer dispute resolution organizations and methods are required. Therefore, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), an alternative method that can provide a reasonable judgment on problems that occur during the manufacture and distribution of cosmetics with expert knowledge of the industry, is required. Korea resolves disputes between consumers and manufacturers caused by cosmetics through the ADR of the Korea Cosmetics Association and the Korea Consumer Agency. It handles disputes related to accidents caused by cosmetics, offers consultation on consumer complaints on cosmetics and provides information on accidents and safety related to cosmetics. It is not possible to completely eradicate disputes from cosmetic damages. Therefore, it is necessary to expand and efficiently operate the cosmetic ADR system for consumers.

Cross-border consumer disputes are on the increase as cross-border trade between consumers and businesses continues to grow. Cross-border consumer disputes are difficult to solve, because there are different languages, laws and institutions between the parties. These consumer disputes can be solved more easily by Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) in comparison with utilizing court processes. ODR is a branch of dispute resolution which uses technology to facilitate the resolution of disputes between parties. It primarily involves negotiation, mediation or arbitration, or a combination of all three. In this respect it is often seen as being the online equivalent of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). On 18 June 2013, the new legislation on Alternative Dispute Resolution and Online Dispute Resolution has been published - the "Directive on Consumer ADR and Regulation on Consumer ODR". The new legislation on ADR and ODR will allow consumers and traders to solve their disputes without going to court, in a quick, low-cost and simple way.

우리나라의 금융ADR제도는 금융감독당국인 금융감독원 및 그 안에 설치되는 금융분쟁조정위원회가 제도운영의 주체가 되는 이른바 "금융분쟁조정제도"로 대표된다고 할 수 있고, 이를 흔히 "행정형 금융ADR제도"라고 평가하고 있다. 이 제도는 금융위원회설치법(1997)에 의해 1999년경에 도입되어 10여년에 걸친 제도운영의 성과를 축적하여 현재에 이르고 있다. 그런데 정작 우리나라에서 금융ADR제도가 주목받기 시작한 것은 대체로 2008년의 이른바 금융위기 이후에 금융소비자보호가 강조되기 시작하면서이다. 금융거래를 통하여 피해를 입은 금융소비자를 보호하기 위한 제도적 방안의 하나로 "소송외적 분쟁해결제도(이른바 ADR)"에 대한 관심이 높아졌기 때문이다. 그나마 우리나라 금융ADR제도에 관한 논의는 주로 감독체제 개편과 관련하여 금융ADR기관의 운영주체를 누구로 할 것인가에 집중되었다는 점에 특이성이 있고, 우리 금융ADR제도의 특징을 객관적인 입장에서 면밀하게 분석한 위에 제도개선의 방향성을 제시하는 논의는 충분하게 이루어졌다고 할 수 없다. 본고는 이와 같은 점들을 문제의식으로 하여 우리나라의 금융ADR제도의 특징을 분석하여 하나의 제도모델로 구체화하고, 이를 통하여 제도의 문제점을 분명히 하고 그 개선방향을 제시하고자 하였다. 우리나라 금융ADR제도는 "행정형 통합형 합의형+집행력 부여형(준사법형) IDR비전치형(ADR기관내 합의권고형)"의 특징을 갖는 제도모델로 평가할 수 있다. 그러나 준사법형 효력모델을 채택하면서도 제도의 실효성확보를 위한 제도적 기반을 갖추지 못하고 있고, 통합형 ADR기관의 제도운영의 부담이 크다는 두 가지 문제점을 극복하여야 하는 과제를 동시에 안고 있다. 그러한 관점에서 본고는 현행 제도의 실효성 확보와 업계자율형 ADR제도(특히 IDR전치형 제도)의 확충을 위한 개선방안을 제시하였다. 특히 제도의 실효성확보 방안으로서 조정안에 편면적 구속력을 부여하지 않고도 조정성립율을 높일 수 있는 방안이 제도개선으로서는 최선책이라는 전제 하에 내부의 인원확충을 도모하고 조정절차 및 효력을 차등화하는 방안, 금융기관이 조정절차 중에 소송으로 도피하는 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 피신청인인 금융기관은 합의권고 또는 조정안을 제시받기 전에는 소를 제기하지 못하도록 규제하는 방안, 소송과의 연계제도로서 소송절차의 중지제도 외에 시효중단효를 부여하는 방안을 각각 제시하였다.
