EU는 확대와 심화를 거듭하면서 세계 최대의 자유무역지대를 형성하고 있다. 과거 서유럽 선진국 중심의 무역과 투자 자유화가 신흥개도국들인 중동구 국가를 회원국으로 가입시키면서 전유럽으로 확산되고 있다. 따라서 유럽 이외 지역의 국가들은 EU와의 FTA 체결을 적극 추진하고 있다. 본고에서는 최근 추진되고 있는 한-EU FTA의 주요 내용에 대해 살펴보고, EU 자동차산업과 타이어산업의 현황에 대해 분석해 본 후 한-EU FTA가 국내 타이어산업에 미칠 영향에 대해 평가해 보기로 한다.

This paper describes the characteristics and outline of rules of origin among Korea and USA, EU, ASEAN. The main focus of this paper is to conduct comparative analysis on rules of origin. Rules of origin are used to determine the country of origin of a product for purposes of international trade. There are two common types of rules of origin depending upon application, the preferential and non-preferential rules of origin Non-preferential rules of origin are used to determine the country of origin for certain purposes. The basis for the non-preferential rules originates from the Kyoto convention which states that if a product is wholly obtained or produced completely within one country the product shall be deemed having origin in that country. For a product which has been produced in more than one country, the product shall be determined to have origin in the country where the last substantial transformation took place. To determine exactly what was the last substantial transformation, three general rules are applied : Change of tariff classification(on any level, though 4-digit level is the most common), Value added-rule.(ad-valorem), and Specific process rule. While criteria of wholly obtained or produced in one country is almost similar to those of theses area and countries, in compliance with value percentages of Substantial Transformation, sufficient working or processing, Korea-US FTA adapts 'Regional Value Content', meanwhile Korea-EU FTA adapts 'Import Content' rule. Finally, Korea-US FTA and ASEAN FTA adapt FOB price for the calculation value added, on the other hand Korea-EU FTA adapts EXW price.
