It is recent trend that every countries are opening their border in the name of liberalization of contemporary era. Shipping is not exceptional and it used to be said as international business. Therefore, co-operation and openness of maritime sectors between regional countries is required to utilize resources that each countries can manage. It can be done by employing their vessels in other countries' short sea area. However, there are some problems to implement this practices, here cabotage is centre of issue. Each countries do not open their sea in order to protect their national interests in sovereignty. But, it should be opened if co-operation between each countries work well and properly. To achieve true maritime co-operation, countries as Korea, China and Japan in Northeast Asia region should have understanding for the opening of cabotage. In order to make things work well, it can be done by the lessons from EU and American cases. Therefore, it should be clarified such as market scale to provide cabotage trade, employment as well as interested parties, and technical safety matters as well as environmental standards. Then cabotage matters can be smoothly resolved between three countries in Northeast Asia region.

As the interest and the importance of environmental protection increases rapidly, the environment considers to be not only the item that requires a control and a duty fundamental element but the fundamental element to enhance the internection icompetitiveness n so. Along with the collapse of the foreign trade barrier and the quality improvement of a customer's life qu life of a an object is shortened liforder to sectsfy the customer's lemands and as the result of it quaother critical issues rmparding the waste treatment and recasles are now thought to be momentou onlyaddition to the issue of the greenhou e gases reduction that is considered as one of me q issues among many internection ienvironmental issues. To keep up the pace with the environmental flow qube notd countries have nlreal iput their attempts to solve this environmental problems through a number of rmpulactios and acctios and they have showed a great concern for it as it is an internection iproblem that they should aasroaeronlythe aspect of not just a compan isr a country but of the wte e globn ivillage. Sueroenvironmental flow alemaned the logistic stratmpy of a compan iand it brought up the demand for the reverse logistics in a supply chain. For the reason above, the concept of reverse logistics and classification, the comparison with any similar concepts and its necessity are studied in this research through the theoretical consideration and the current state of the reverse logistics is organized in this research by acknowledging the domestic development process and the properties regarding the recycles of resources. In addition, the way to apply to the nation was investigated by comparing with the environmentalism development process, the reverse logistics policies and examples of advanced countries in logistics. The research proposed building of intimate cooperative system between a shipper and logistic service provider for the reverse logistics throughout the whole supply chain, the financial support, amendment of regulations, support Eco-friendly logistic technology development and the propagation, effective logistic system development and others and it is expected to bring a significant meaning to the reverse logistic policy and operation later on.

The two waves of EU enlargement in 2004 and 2007, have been milestones of European integration. While research has been conducted into the impact of these events on both the European and the global economies,1 there have been few attempts to assess the effects of EU enlargement and the introduction of the euro on countries such as Russia, which neighbour the EU but currently have no perspective of accession. This paper aims to provide an assessment of the effects that EU enlargement and the introduction of the euro have had on Russia, the largest country neighbouring the EU. In particular, it focuses on trade and investment links between the EU and Russia, as well as the use of the energy by Russian residents and authorities. Economic links between Russia and the EU are found to have strengthened considerably in the areas of trade, investment and other financial flows in recent years. Strong growth, particularly in Russia, as well as the high price of oil and gas, Russia's major export items, has facilitated this expansion of trade and finance. Moreover, available data do not suggest that EU enlargement has had a negative impact on Russia in terms of trade or investment diversion. Thus, the strategic partnership between Russia and the EU has been increasingly underpinned by an expansion of cross-border economic activities. Thus, the paper contributes to two broad strands of literature on this subject, namely the impact of regional trade and economic arrangements on non-member countries and the international role of currencies.

지금까지의 국제환경규제 중 가장 강력한 환경규제로 평가되는 유럽연합(EU)의 REACH(신 화학물질 관리제도)가 다음달인 6월 발효된다. 이 제도에 제대로 대응하지 못할 경우 유럽 수출길이 막히게 돼 국내 기업들의 대책 마련이 시급하다. REACH가 가장 강력한 환경규제로 꼽히는 이유는 규제 대상의 광범위성 때문이다. 화학제품은 물론 전자, 자동차, 생활용품 등 완제품에 함유된 화학물질도 모두 등록 대상으로 총 3만종이 넘는다는 게 EU 화학물질관리청의 추정이다. 그러나 문제는 REACH가 EU 수출에 있어 거대한 무역 장벽으로 등장하고 있지만 국내 산업계의 대응은 아직 크게 미흡하다는 것이다. 특히 중소기업의 경우 REACH의 개념조차 제대로 모르고 있는 실정이다. 환경부가 지난해 말 EU에 수출하고 있는 3200여개 기업을 대상으로 설문조사를 한 결과, 응답률은 127개(회수율 4%)밖에 안됐으며 설문에 참여한 117개 중소기업 중 제도에 대해 전혀 모르고 있다는 답변이 36%나 됐다. 본 고에서는 일본기업 REACH 대응 설문조사 결과 내용을 통해 국내 인지도와 비교해 봄과 동시에 REACH 제도에 대응하기 위해 나아갈 방향을 조명해 본다.

The ISO issued the first standard for environmental management standard(EMS) in 1993. This standard provide for elements of an effective environmental management system and can also help companies ingrain effective environmental management practice into their overall business operations. ISO 14001 is predicted to become the leading voluntary environmental management system standard. Companies selling products and services internationally and domestically will also be affected by publication of this standard. Especially, this new environmental management standards are fast becoming a condition for doing global business because it can be acted with trade barriers. Actually, an automobile companies of America including Ford and GM require their subcontracting companies to gain the recognition of ISO 14001. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the ISO 14000 and its application of Korean firms focusing on environmental management system(EMS). This paper proceeds to present the effective alternatives through analysing the existing Korean firms which has established EMS. Korean firms should adopt EMS not for the enhancement of corporate image but for the purpose of strategic competitive advantage.

As Global value chain(GVC) is deepening, the importance of intermediated good trade is growing in international trade issues. Such facts lead to much discussions about the relation between Global Outsourcing and pollution. This study analyzed the effect of Global outsourcing on Environment using the data including 21 industries for 2004-14. $CO_2$ intensity is used as a proxy for the environment variable and to measure Global outsourcing and I employed the method suggested by Feenstra and Hanson(1999), Amiti and Wei(2006). To examine the effect Global outsourcing on the Environment more precisely, this paper controlled the factors that can affect the environment level on the basis of the theory suggested by Copeland and Taylor(1994). In the methodology, System GMM is employed to solve endogenous problem. The results show that for overall industries, Global outsourcing effect cannot be identified and for polluting industries, the result is identical. However, Global outsourcing has a negative effect on the pollution level for China and developing countries. In other words, as Global outsourcing is increasing, the national pollution level is decreasing.

중국은 급속한 경제성장으로 인해서 에너지의 소비량이 급증하였으며 이는 석탄의 급증을 동시에 유발하였다 이러한 석탄 사용의 증가는 국내적으로는 대기오염의 악화를 초래하고 있으며, 국외적으로는 산성비의 원인이 되고 있다. 한편 수질오염도 심각하며 주원인으로는 도시폐기물이 약 40%, 산업폐기물로 인한 수질오염이 60% (1981 - 1995)을 차지하고 있으며 폐수처리물은 산업폐수가 77%이나 도시의 폐수처리는 7%에 불과한 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 환경오염으로 인한 총 사회적 비용은 1995년도의 경우 GDP의 8%로 추정되고 있으나 중국의 경제 성장이 현재와 같이 지속되고 청정생산, 에너지 효율 향상이 되면 2020년에 '95년의 사회적 비용의 75% 수준까지 저감시킬 것으로 세계은행은 예상하고 있다. (세계은행, 1998) 중국이 환경문제를 해결하기 위해서는 우선 에너지 효율 향상과 에너지 공급원의 다양화를 추진하는 것이며, 산업 보일러와 로에서 발생하는 배출량에 대한 저감에 대해서 노력해야 한다. 특히 수질오염의 방지를 위해서도 거의 무방지 지대인 중소기업에 대한 폐수처리 시설의 확충도 시급한 실정이며 자동차와 관련한 대기오염의 방지도 중요하다. 특히 시장 기능의 활성화를 유도하기 위해서는 공기업에게도 철저한 환경규제를 적용시켜야 하며, 환경비용의 내부화를 기하기 위해서 가격제도의 도입과 국제 무역의 자유화를 조기에 추진함으로서 환경기반산업을 육성할 수 있을 것이며 최소한 GDP의 1% 정도 되는 환경투자가 필요하다고 본다.

In order to combat the spread of COVID-19, on January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared that the spread of COVID-19 has met the criteria of a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern" under Article 1 of the International Health Regulations(2005) and proposed a variety of preliminary recommendations to fight against the pandemic accordingly. All of a sudden, people are ordered to wear face-masks in public-which is forbidden for different reasons in many jurisdictions. Of course, the legal world was hit by the virus as well. Needless to mention that where economic and social life will change so drastically, the legal world will change(ex. virtual hearing) as well. Most probably, it will not ever be the same after COVID-19. And where the whole legal world will change, it is easy to state the obvious, namely that COVID-19 has and will have an impact on international arbitration as well. This paper will describe how international arbitration is dealing with this new challenge.

품질관리는 미래 산업에서 아주 중요한 부분을 차지하며 사료공장에서 도계장까지 생산 과정 전반에 걸쳐 이뤄져야 한다. 오늘날 소비자들 사이에 영양가 있고 청정한 축산물에 대한 요구가 높아지고 있다. 40여 년 전의 축산물은 생산량 증대가 주요 관심사였고, 그 후 10년 뒤에는 생산성에 초점을 맞췄다가 1970년대에는 품질이 우선이었고, '80년대부터는 환경 문제가 주요 관심사로 떠오르게 되었다. 그러던 것이 새천년에 들어서면서 동물의 복지가 새로운 이슈로 등장하게 되었다. '안전식품을 위한 안전한 사료'가 제창되었고 이러한 개념은 모든 축산물 생산과정에 적용하게 되었다. 축산업자들도 소비자들의 가치를 높이고 안전과 축산업자들도 소비자들의 가치를 높이고 안전과 품질관리를 통해서만 경쟁에서 살아남는다는 것을 인식하게 되었다. 더욱이 국제적으로 GATT/ WTO체제에 따른 무역개방화는 전 세계를 단일 시장화 하고 있으며, 그에 따라 축산물에 대한 품질관리 (Quality Assurance, QA)프로그램은 더욱 중요시 되고 있다.
