Two-wheeled motorcycles rarely use windscreen wipers in general. However, if two or more wheeled motorcycles with upper body employ windscreen wiper systems, clear visibility should be ensured regardless of weather conditions. The windscreen wiper systems include washers, defrosting, and demisting. As demands for the personal mobility are rapidly increased, the related global safety standards for motorcycles with upper body have been revised accordingly. Currently only EU regulations issue the provisions of windscreen wiper systems for L-category vehicles, which characterize two or more wheeled motorcycles. Therefore, in order to agree with international safety standards, it is necessary to revise KMVSS (Korea Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) for motorcycles. Here, KMVSS regarding windscreen wiper systems for motorcycles are studied considering the EU regulations. It is expected that the findings in this study are useful for future amendment of KMVSS.

Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 ("Regulation") is a common rule on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding and of cancellation or long delay of flights. In some recent cases of European nations, passengers sued the air carrier in order to obtain monetary compensation under Article 7(1) of the Regulation. Some courts dismissed the actions on the grounds that, unlike denied boarding or cancellation of the flight, the Regulation provides no compensation in relation to delayed flights. However, Court of Justice of the European Union(CJEU) ruled that Regulation 261/2004 must be interpreted to mean that passengers whose flights are delayed have a right to compensation in cases when the loss of time is equivalent to, or is in excess of three hours - where the passengers eventually reached their final destination three hours or more later than the originally scheduled arrival time. It is true that a strict interpretation of the regulation would suggest that passengers whose flight has merely been delayed are not entitled to compensation. They should only be offered assistance in accordance with the Articles 6 and 9. Nevertheless, the Court recognized the same right to the same compensation for passengers of flights delayed by more than three hours as that explicitly provided for passengers of cancelled flights. On the one hand, the Court bases this ruling on the recitals of the Regulation, in which the legislature links the question of compensation to that of a long delay, while indicating that the Regulations seek to ensure a high level of protection for passengers regardless of whether they are denied boarding or their flight is cancelled or delayed. On the other hand, the Court interprets the relevant provisions of the Regulation in light of the general principle of equal treatment. Furthermore, the Court delivered a ruling that the loss of time inherent in a flight delay, which constitutes an inconvenience within the intention of Regulation No 261/2004 and which cannot be categorized as 'damage occasioned by delay' within the meaning of Article 19 of the Montreal Convention, cannot come within the scope of Article 29 of that convention. Consequently, under this view, the obligation under Regulation No 261/2004 intended to compensate passengers whose flights are subject to a long delay is in line with Article 29 of the Montreal Convention. Although the above interpretation of the Court can be a analogical interpretation, the progressive attitude of the Regulation and the view of Court forward to protect passengers' interest is a leading role in the area of international air passenger transportation. Hopefully, after the model of the positive support in Europe, Korea can establish a concrete rule for protecting passengers' right and interest.

전 국토의 65%가 산악지형으로 이루어져 있는 우리나라는 도로개설 및 산업기지 건설, 대규모 주택단지 개발 등으로 자연사면을 변형시키는 규모나 빈도가 증가하고 있고, 최근에는 기상이변에 의한 집중호우가 빈번히 발생하여 절토사면에서 낙석이 발생할 위험이 점점 높아지고 있는 실정이다. 낙석방지를 위한 대책공법으로는 낙석방지 망, 낙석방지 울타리 등이 있으며 이중에서 낙석방지 울타리는 국내의 국도 낙석방지 대책공법 중 70% 이상을 차지하고 있다. 그러나 국내 설계지침에는 낙석방지 울타리에 대한 다양한 성능등급과 성능평가를 위한 표준화된 시험방법이 제시되어 있지 않아 현장여건을 고려하여 적절한 낙석방지 울타리를 선정하고 낙석방지 울타리들의 성능을 비교검토하기에 어려움이 있다. 유럽의 경우 유럽연합 출범이후 낙석방지 시설에 대한 통합기준의 필요성이 대두되어 유럽 여러 나라의 성능평가 방법과 스위스의 설계지침을 고려하여 2008년에 유럽 통합 지침인 ETAG 27을 제정하였다. ETAG 27에는 낙석방지 울타리의 성능등급이 100kJ~4,500kJ이상 9등급으로 분류되어 있고 성능등급 별로 Service Energy Level과 Maximum Energy Level에 대하여 실물시험을 통한 성능평가 시험과 구성요소에 대한 검증시험을 수행하도록 되어있다. 실물시험은 낙석에너지의 산정과 낙석질량의 타격위치를 정확하게 결정할 수 있는 방법을 이용하여 수행토록 규정되어 있다. 미국의 경우에는 주별로 상이한 설계기준으로 인하여 발생하는 문제를 해소하기 위하여 2003년에 스위스의 설계지침을 준용하여 통합기준인 NCHRP Report 20-07을 결정하였다. NCHRP Report 20-07에는 낙석방지 울타리의 성능등급이 100kJ~5,000kJ까지 9등급으로 분류되어 있고 성능등급 별 낙석질량이 규정되어 있으며 등급별 낙석에너지의 50%와 100%에 대하여 실물시험을 통한 성능평가 시험을 수행하도록 되어 있다. 실물시험은 낙석에너지의 산정과 낙석질량의 타격위치를 정확하게 결정할 수 있는 방법을 이용하여 수행토록 규정되어 있다. 낙석방지 울타리에 대한 국내 설계지침과 유럽과 미국의 설계지침을 비교분석하고 국내에서 수행된 실물실험을 통한 성능평가 연구결과를 검토하였다. 또한 구성요소의 역학적 특성변화가 전체 시스템의 성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해서 국내 설계 지침에 제시된 낙석방지 울타리에 대하여 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 이용한 성능평가를 수행하였다. 이러한 연구결과에 근거하여 국내 설계지침은 현장여건에 따라 적절한 낙석방지 울타리를 선정할 수 있도록 다양한 성능등급을 규정하고, 낙석방지 울타리의 성능을 합리적으로 비교검토 할 수 있게 하는 표준화 성능평가 시험방법과 평가기준을 정립하며, 구성요소의 품질에 대한 신뢰성을 확인하는 구성요소의 검증시험을 포함하는 방향으로 개선될 필요가 있는 것으로 조사되었다.

On 12 October 2017, the English Royal Courts of Justice delivered its decision about air carrier's compensation liability for the flight delay. In the cases the passengers suffered delays at a connecting point and, consequently, on arrival at their final destination. They claimed compensation under Regulation 261/2004 (the "Regulation"), as applied by the Court of Justice of the European Union (the "CJEU") in Sturgeon v. Condor [2009]. The principal issues were whether delays suffered by the passengers during the second leg of their respective journeys were compensable under the Regulation, whether there was jurisdiction under the Regulation and whether the right to compensation under the Regulation is, insofar as non-Community air carriers are concerned, excluded by virtue of the exclusive liability regime established under the Montreal Convention 1999. The passengers, the plaintiff, argued that the relevant delay was not that on flight 1 but that suffered at the "final destination". They maintained that there was no exercise by the EU of extraterritorial jurisdiction as the delay on flight 2 was merely relevant to the calculation of the amount of compensation due under the Regulation. The air carrier, the defendant, however argued that the only relevant flights for the purpose of calculating any delay were the first flights (flights 1) out of EU airspace, as only these flights fell within the scope of the Regulation; the connecting flights (flights 2) were not relevant since they were performed entirely outside of the EU by a non-Community carrier. Regarding the issue of what counts as a delay under the Regulation, the CJEU held previously on another precedents that the operating carrier's liability to pay compensation depends on the passenger's delay in arriving at the "final destination". It held that where the air carrier provides a passenger with more than one directly connecting flight to enable him to arrive at their destination, the flights should be taken together for the purpose of assessing whether there has been three hours' or more delay on arrival; and that in case of directly connecting flights, the final destination is the place at which the passenger is scheduled to arrive at the end of the last component flight. In addition, the Court confirmed that the Regulation applied to flights operated by non-Community carriers out of EU airspace even if flight 1 or flight 2 lands outside the EU, since the Regulation does not require that a flight must land in the EU. Accordingly, the passengers' appeal from the lower Court was allowed, while that of air carrier was dismissed. The Court has come down firmly on the side of the passengers in this legal debate. However, this result is not a great surprise considering the recent trends of EU member states' court decisions in the fields of air transport and consumer protection. The main goal of this article is to review the Court's decision and to search historical trend of air consumer protection especially in EU area.

This paper purports to compare the differences and similarities of social exclusions in Korea with those in the European countries, notably Germany, France, Sweden, Finland, Ireland and U.K. For this purpose, chapter two examines political and social origins of social exclusion as an alternative concept to poverty or unemployment. Chapter three discusses social exclusion paradigms of Silver(1994) in reference to welfare regime theories of Esping-Andersen(1990). Subsequently chapter four, using two artificial social exclusion indicators by principal component analysis, defines the basic nature of social exclusion of Korea in comparison with those of the six European countries. Chapter five duly concludes that social exclusions in Korea are very similar to those of liberal countries (Ireland and U.K.) in that income indicators (poverty and inequality) of Korea are much worse, whereas unemployment rate is relatively low.

Recently, the Justice Party is pushing for legislation of a bill called the Algorithm Transparency Act. The bill is a revision to the Information and Communication Network Act proposed by Rep. Ryu Ho-jung on June 25, 2021, and aims to form a separate committee under the Korea Communications Commission to ask organizations operated for profit to search algorithms and explain the principles of arrangement. Currently, Korea treats algorithms as corporate secrets and does not disclose them, while the European Union (EU) implements the Personal Information Protection Regulations (GDPR) in relation to algorithm regulations. Therefore, this study summarizes the main contents of the Algorithm Transparency Act currently proposed to the National Assembly and reviews the current status of algorithm-related laws and systems in the European Union (EU) and the improvement of algorithm transparency.

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. The United Nations working group for online dispute resolution of cross-border electronic commerce transactions (UNCITRAL Working Group III) has been underway since 2010 to continue its work on procedural rules for ODR.

The changes of cosmetic industry regulation in the leading countries, such as E.C., America, Japan, initiated our research to suggest the direction of our cosmetics regulation. These countries are strengthening the post-monitoring system for the safety and cosmetic industry development. We propose the agenda for the development of the industry; the extension of cosmetics range, deregulation of the advertisement, implementation of the ingredient labelling, introduction of the product expiring date. Ultimately. it is necessary to introduce and extend current CGMP to enhance the company responsibility and to reinforce the post-monitoring.

유럽연합(EU)의 GPDR(개인정보보호일반규정)시행에 따라 개인정보를 활용하는 사업자 입장에서는 개인정보 보호도 중요하지만 활용측면에 더 많은 관심을 보이고 있다. 개인정보 보호와 활용에 따른 균형점을 찾는 제도적 정착을 위해 개인정보 이동권에 대한 요구가 생겼다. 국내 개인정보 관련 법률에는 아직 근거가 없으며 개인정보처리자의 독립적 데이터 보유에 따른 책임 강화와 정보주체가 자신의 데이터를 관리하는 권리를 가지고 데이터 활용을 할 수 있는 개인정보 자기결정권이 더 요구된다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 GDPR의 개인정보 이동권에 대한 현황 및 준수사항을 알아보고 각 나라별 개인정보 이동(data portability)에 따른 개인정보 활용방안과 고려사항을 제시하고자 한다. 개인정보이동에 한 형태로 국내 마이데이터 시범 사업이 정착하기 위한 법칙, 기술적 대응사항을 제시하고자 한다.
