한미 양국은 자동차분야의 협상 타결을 위해 막판까지 팽팽한 줄다리기를 벌였다. 우리나라는 자동차가 우리의 대미 최대 수출 품목으로 2.5%의 관세가 철폐될 경우 2.4%만큼의 가격 인하 효과를 가져와 우리 자동차의 수출 증대에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단한 반면 미국은 최대의 수입 품목인 자동차 간세를 즉시 철폐해 줄 경우 구조조정을 겪고 있는 미국 자동차 빅 3에게 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다고 평가했기 때문이다. 오랜 산고 끝에 협상이 타결된 만큼 그 효과를 극대화하기 위해서는 우리 자동차 업계의 철저한 대응책이 필요한 시점이다. 본고에서는 한미 FTA 협상의 자동차부문 주요 협상 타결 내용과 양국 타이어 산업의 수급현황에 대해 살펴 본 후 자동차와 타이어산업에 미칠 영향가 대응 방안에 대해 살펴보기로 한다.

WTO는 그간에 계속적으로 진행된 관세장벽인하 등 무역장벽 제거조치로 인하여 국가 간 무역자유화가 상당한 성과를 가져오리라고 기대하였으나 현실적으로는 그러한 결과가 실현되지 않았다. 그 이유로 분석된 것은 민간 분야에서 시장접근을 제한하는 행위들이 아직 남아 있기 때문이라는 것이다. 그 중 대표적인 것이 기업 간 담합행위와 시장 지배적 사업자의 남용행위라고 보고 있다. 시장접근을 제한하는 이러한 반경쟁적인 기업행위들이 상존하는 이유를 WTO에서는 아직도 많은 국가들이 경쟁법을 도입하고 있지 않거나, 각 국 간의 경쟁법이 상이하기 때문이라고 보고 있다. 그러므로 무역자유화 조치의 효과를 제대로 실현시키기 위하여 각 국 간에 공통적으로 적용이 가능하거나 수용할 수 있는 경쟁법 수단을 만들어보자는 것이 WTO 차원의 다자간 경쟁규범 추진의 배경이다.

This paper studies how the free trade agreements (FTAs) have changed the dynamics of Korea's imports since 1996. Specifically, the dynamic regression analysis on the transition of trade liberalization discovers three main findings: (1) import values of Korea increase gradually as FTAs enter into force; (2) the extensive margins of import work as a major source of the trade effect in the transition episode of FTAs; (3) the extensive margins of import tend to increase even before FTAs enter into force. This noble forward-looking effect suggests some potential foreign exporters or exporting goods enter the Korean market, especially when FTAs negotiation starts. It supports the early entry behavior of potential exporters found in recent international trade literature.

Since Korea establish diplomatic ties with China in 1992, korea and China have had rapid progress in most of field as politic, economy, society and culture through basing on cultural commonality and geographical adjacency. Especially, China is the biggest trading partner to korea, and also Korea is third-biggest trading country to China. They become strategic cooperating relation in 2008. Currently, in terms of international trade relation, WTO/DDA negotiation is proceeding in difficulty, but FTA has been growing and extending in the world, and the two country, china and korea, have been competitively trying wide and active FTA negotiation promotion. After Financial crisis in 1997, according to the requirement of local economic cooperation, China has shown the interest to several countries since the conclusion of FTA treaty with ASEAN in 2005. China also makes the active afford to conclude FTA with Korea. Last May 28th, this was mentioned in the meeting between president Lee and Premier Wen Jiabao, so it is anticipated that the negotiation for FTA will be started in the near future. There are many political suggestions and concerns in terms of way of negotiation korea would choose. Some economist said that "'Continuous FTA aimed at long-term protocol should be promoted between korea and China and negotiated includingly'" However, this research claims that commodity exchange, service, and investment areas should be included and it has to be comprehensive package settlement style in negotiation. This research has found out the characteristics of China's negotiation and implications through the China's existed FTA negotiation examples. Currently, China has taken Continuous or a phase-negotiation method to ASEAN, Pakistan, Chile and some other developing country and to advanced countries like New Zealand or Singapore, comprehensive package settlement method is used in FTA negotiation. In consider of the FTA negotiation between Korea and China, Korea has some problems in the commodity change area in agriculture maket's opening. While, for china, the issues would happen in service trade area, especially when encountering finance and communication industries are opened, China's economy could be exposed to some risk. In result, Korea should expand its negotiation range from commodity trade to service trade, in order to exchange both issues, then the negotiation will be concluded more easily. In other word, for FTA, korea should follow comprehensive package settlement way that is similar to New zealand and Singapore case. Through this kind of method, Korea can expect effect of creating trade, conversion of it and preoccupancy of service field in china's market against the advanced countries like Usa, Europe and Japan. Also, to have a successful FTA negotiation, korea should find out china's policy for FTA negotiation. With this information, korea will be able to suggest the way to make a profit. Systematic analysis and comparison about previous negotiation cases of china are needed before the negotiation begin.
