  • Companies do not be resolved by the FTA services of external aid should be operational by assigning dedicated personnel inside the company. FTA is a choice, not an essential trade agreement requirements. If the exporter contracts to provide a certificate of origin in trade agreements, it shall issue a certificate of origin of goods originating management is performed. When considering the future trend of spreading wide FTA, it should be extended to one year to take advantage of the FTA Certificate of Origin environments utilizing a comprehensive environment for regional countries that require proof of origin between certain countries, such as current. FTA utilization of the future is to utilize the GVC(Global Value Chain) efficiently. In other words, the expansion of the consumer market and take advantage of an efficient production base across borders. These environmental changes are needed development of the FTA utilization promotion and FTA experts. The experts studying how to procure raw materials or intermediate goods exports in a variety of regional foreign countries, to meet the rules of origin is required for a successful FTA utilization. One of the objectives of Origin managers are qualified experts in the country of origin can take advantage of the FTA plan. Therefore, managers of origin shall collect their ability to expand the understanding and information about the industry as an international business perspective beyond the Certificate of Origin. In addition, it should be in their best learning expertise for the introduction and development of country of origin control system in an effort to effectively perform its international FTA utilization. Once the FTA is more widespread in the future and build a common origin information it must not be disconnected until the export enterprises from terminal manufacturers systematically. Therefore origin management is preferred by expanding the knowledge base of teaching and learning in the common sense to the universal subject of specialization from professional schools to promote the relevant departments so that they can be opened in a college or university. An FTA hub linking East and West, also need the confidence that in order to become a center of Glabal Supply Chain Using an FTA Certificate of Origin and stable environment for importers to import products from the country offers. Certificate of Origin and all of them thoroughly exporters and companies related to the administration of origin and should create an atmosphere that can effectively respond to the origin verification. Korea shall endeavor to elicit a geopolitical value (FTA Hub), as well as securing a competitive advantage in the global industry leverage, trading at a reasonable price competitive products thereby enhancing production and economic growth through the FTA.

  • 시장지배적 사업자의 결합판매는 경쟁법 적용에 있어 어려운 문제 중 하나이다. 결합판매는 통상 할인을 수반하는데, 소비자 입장에서는 더 낮은 가격에 더 많은 상품을 구매할 수 있는 혜택을 보게 된다. 공급자도 별개로 판매할 경우에 소요되는 판매비용보다 더 낮은 비용으로 판매할 수 있게 된다. 이와 같이 소비자 입장에서는 가격인하의 혜택을, 공급자 입장에서는 판매비용 인하의 혜택을 보는 효율적인 측면이 있다. 대상판결은 결합판매 자체는 경쟁촉진적일 수도 있고, 경쟁제한적일 수도 있으며, 시장지배적 사업자가 아니더라도 거래관행상 광범위하게 이루어지고 있으므로 중립적이고 객관적으로 경쟁제한성 평가를 할 필요가 있음을 전제로 하고 있다. 대상판결은 동등 효율 경쟁자를 배제할 위험이 있는지를 심사해야 한다는 입장을 취함으로써 제1심이 선례로 고려한 LePage 판결을 따르지 않고 비용 기반 분석(cost based approach)이 필요하다고 봄으로써, 결합판매에서 비용기반 분석의 대표적인 판결로 평가받고 있다. 이 판결의 가장 돋보이는 점은 결합판매에서 경쟁제한성 평가의 방법론에 있어, 할인귀속 기준을 채택하여 결합판매에 따른 할인분을 전체 상품이 아니라 경합하는 상품에 적용한 후, 비용보다 가격이 낮은지를 심리해야 한다는 점을 지적한 점이다. 동등효율 경쟁자의 배제 문제는 결국 행위자 자신이 스스로 위반여부를 판단할 수 있어야 하므로, 이때 문제되는 비용은 경쟁자의 비용이 아니라 행위자의 비용임을 명시하였다. 결합판매를 통한 할인은 소비자가 별개로 구입할 수 있는 선택권을 침해받지 않으면서도 저가에 상품을 구입할 수 있는 긍정적인 효과가 있다. 따라서 결합판매를 경쟁법 차원에서 규제할 수 있는 근거로는, 가격할인에도 불구하고 동등효율 경쟁자를 배제한다는 점이 합리적인 사유가 될 것이다. 그 점에서 대상판결이 제시한 동등효율 경쟁자의 배제 위험 문제를 가격비용 테스트와 할인귀속기준을 통하여 적용한 점은 설득력이 있다. 반면, 결합판매의 기본적인 구조는 끼워팔기의 강제성 요건과 유사한 측면이 있다는 지적도 경청할 필요가 있다. 한국은 공적 건강보험 체계가 당연지정 요양기관 제도와 결합하면서 의료서비스에 대한 가격 경쟁은 요양급여에서는 불허되며 비급여 부분을 중심으로 존재한다. 이러한 비급여 부분을 중심으로 의료가 발달한 분야에서도 가격에 관한 의료공급자들의 시장지배적 지위의 남용이 가능하다. 진료비에 대한 가격결정과 공적 건강보험 제도와 민간의료보험의 관계를 검토해보면, 의료공급자 중 시장지배적 사업자의 결합판매를 통한 경쟁사업자의 배제는 비급여 부분에 대하여 국민건강보험공단이 아닌 민간보험회사와 관계에서 결합판매를 통한 할인계약을 통하여 가능할 것이다.

  • Because global innovation-based competition is increasing and the amount of R&D expenditures becomes severely large, it is more likely that mergers and collaborative ventures tend to affect adversely to R&D competition Against this trend, enforcing agency of advanced countries including U.S.A are reassessing certain aspects of competition policy toward mergers and acquisition to ensure that procompetitive, efficiency-enhancing transactions are permitted. The role of competition policy is developing and appropriating new technology and protects the risks involved in the licensing contract of technologies. The role of intellectual property rights is also contrived to promote technological innovation and to increase consumer welfare. That is to say, dynamic efficiency of intellectual property rights includes (l) increase in social welfare and (2) promotion of growth by improvement of quality through invention and commercialization of new product as well as enhanced productive efficiency thorough appropriating new process. Because intellectual property rights are licensed to make use of complementary inputs, the rule of reason approach seems proper when applying antitrust law. To analyze the "Antitrust Guidelines for the Licensing and Acquisition of Intellectual Property"by DOJ and FTC in U.S.A, the author surveyed pros and cons on innovation market approach. This approach will only be used in a narrow range of situations when the evidence is solid, concentration numbers are extremely high, and the agencies can predict with a high degree of certainty that the merger will likely lead either to a slowing in the pace of innovation or the loss of an alternative research track that is likely to lead to a product beneficial to consumers. The author introduces the studies on licensing contract of intellectual property rights and competition polices on behalf of potential inquirers. Also the author invites the interdisciplinary researchers to analyze further with a model on the aspects of the "Notice 1995-10 for Types and Criteria on Unfair Transaction Behavior in International Contracts" by Fair Trade Committee of Korea.

  • 정수장에서 생산한 수돗물이 수용가까지 안전하게 공급하기 위해서는 관내 및 배수지 등의 공급과정에서 철저한 수질관 리가 필요하다. 그러나 배수지의 수질관리 및 모니터링이 전혀 이루어지지 않고 있다. 최근 정부는 먹는 물에 대한 수질관리기준을 강화하고 있으나, 먹는 물에 대한 수질측정 기반기술은 미국, 일본, 독일 등에 비하여 매우 빈약하다. 특히 수질 검사 및 분석기기의 핵심은 센서이나 이들 센서에 대한 기술이 매우 부족하다. 본 논문에서는 국내 먹는 물 수질관리에 대한 관계 법령 및 규정을 분석하고, 먹는 물 수질측정 기준에 적합한 pH, 전도도, 잔류염소, 탁도 및 수온에 대한 센서 및 측정기기의 최적 성능기준을 제안하고, 대표적인 전극센서인 pH, 전도도 및 잔류염소 센서의 상호간섭 및 영향을 분석한다.

  • In the past, ADR has not been used as frequently in Japan as it has in other parts of the industrialized world. However, though litigation is still the most utilized vehicle of dispute resolution by Japanese financial institutions, this will be changing. The New Financial ADR system, which was created by a June 2009 amendment to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, is meant to deal with every stage of financial-related disputes and, as such, strives to resolve disputes before they become significant and acts to ameliorate any post-ADR issues that may remain, thereby completing the FIEA's purpose to protect investors. Since the foundation of the New Financial ADR system applies to all related industries, new provisions were set out in 16 business related acts, such as the Banking Act, the Insurance Business Act, and FIEA itself. October 2010 will mark the formal introduction of a new system of financial ADR in Japan. New Financial ADR in Japan will be modeled on the Financial Ombudsman Service in the United Kingdom, but will not feature one comprehensive dispute resolution system in which one dispute resolution institution covers all disputes in the financial field. The New Financial ADR system is merely one step towards a foundation of comprehensive financial ADR such as FOS. It must be noted, however, that this all important first step was over seven years in the making, involving a great deal of discussion, debate, and compromise amongst many parts of Japanese government, business, and society. The New Financial ADR system grants participating parties the ability to stop the clock on any statute of limitations which may correspond to any future possible court cases related to the dispute,13 and further grants the ability to suspend related court proceedings while the parties are utilizing the New Financial ADR system. In addition, where financial institutions have not accepted dispute resolution proceedings or have not accepted a special conciliation proposal, the Ministry of Finance may issue an order compelling compliance if it is found that certain actions are necessary to ensure the appropriate operations of a financial institution's business. In Japan, as best practices have not yet been created.

  • The purpose of this research is to identify multidimensional motivation factors that determine the piracy of copyrighted digital music. The model is based on TPB(theory of planned behavior) as well as other models in consumer behavior. An empirical study resulted in the following findings. first Both individual's attitude toward music piracy and individual's perceived behavior control have positive impacts on the individual's behavioral intention of piracy. It turned out that perceived behavior control has a stronger impact on behavioral intention than attitude does. Second, the level of individual's moral judgment has negative impacts on both the attitude and behavioral intention toward music piracy. Third, individual's experience in music piracy positively affects the attitude, but does not directly or indirectly affect the behavior intention. Fourth, an economic gain from music piracy is not a significant factor in determining both attitude and behavioral intention. Fifth, the risk of being prosecuted for music piracy is a major factor in determining one's attitude, although the risk is not significant enough to change one's behavioral intention. This research found that individuals' intention to pirate digital music is mainly affected by the moral and ethical standards of the individuals and by the extra resources and abilities they possess. Such factors as economic gain and law enforcement were not significant enough to alter one's behavioral intention. This research is significant in that it established a behavioral model to understand the piracy of copyrighted digital music and that it empirically tested the model with Internet users in Korea. This is one of the first empirical studies in Korea to touch such ethically and perhaps politically sensitive issues as online music piracy.

  • 본 연구는 방송 통신 서비스의 경품 및 요금 감면 행위의 위법성 판단 기준과 규제 기관의 위법 행위 적발 및 시정조치 등을 분석함으로써 규제의 실효성 여부를 알아보고 효과적 규제 방안을 제안하고자 하는 연구목적을 지니고 있다. 연구 결과, 최근 들어 이용자에게 제공되는 경품과 요금 감면액의 차이가 급속히 증가하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 공정거래위원회는 부당성 판단 기준을 비용 이하로 요금을 책정하는 경우에만 부당염매로 판단하고 있지만 방송통신위원회는 '가입자 1인당 평균 예상이익'으로 적용하고 있는데, 모든 사업자의 평균값을 기준으로 함으로써 기업이 제공하는 서비스품질의 차이나 선발기업과 후발기업 간 비용 구조 차이를 고려하지 않아 후발 기업의 마케팅 비용을 상대적으로 높게 허용해주는 결과를 낳고 있다. 이용자 차별금지를 통해 후발 기업의 가입자 증가와 영업이익의 증가를 지원하는 결과를 가져오지만, 이는 직접적인 규제 목적이 아니며 적극적으로 정보를 추구하는 정보이용자의 후생이 감소하는 결과가 나타나고 있어 부당성 판단 기준에 대한 재고찰이 필요함을 제안하였다.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine the food labelling system and its regulations based on Food Hygine Law in Korea and to compare them with those of USA and JAPAN. This study was carried out to suggest desirable direction for improvement of food labelling system in Korea by reviewing literatures and regulations related to the subject of this study. The results are as follows: 1. The indication of shelf-life in Korean lavelling system appeared ineffective from the point of view of consumer protection and resource preservation compared with dual system of indicating shelf-life in USA and Japan. 2. The standard of labelling general food in Korea does not give sufficient nutritive information to the consumers, compared with that in USA and Japan. 3. Only five ingredients including additives are to be listed on the food label in Korea whereas all the ingredients and additives are in the USA and Japan. 4. The way of Listing food additives on food label is neither specifically required nor standardized in Korea and, food additives are classified into only 7 groups in Korea while 18 in the USA. Based on the above results of literature review, the followings are suggested to improve food labelling system in Korea. 1. Indication of shelf-life should have dual system, in which perishable food should not be permitted to be sold after its shelf-life while the processed food or dried food to be preserved for a long time should be indicated with more or less flexible term about shelf-life. 2. Standard of labelling general food should include calorie, fat, protein, and the content of major vitamins and minerals. 3. All ingredients and their contents, including food additives should be listed on the food labels. 4. The standard of indication of food additives in Korea should include the name, usage and content of all additives used in foods.

  • Background : Recently, Medical Act was amended to encourage the induction of combined treatment between Oriental Medicine doctors and Western doctors. As yet, the information infra for combined treatment has not been studied. Objectives : This study aimed to design the architecture of information system for combined treatment of the Oriental and the Western Medicine. Methods : First, we defined the information of combined treatment through the analysis of research trends from the inside and outside of the country. Because the data compatibility is very important, the definition of information must be ahead of anything else. Second, we designed the architecture of information system based on the prior definition. Results : We classified the information for combined treatment by subject such as law, clinic, research, manpower, facilities, and education. In this paper information system examined in three aspects. First the infra layer is organized as hardware, netware, and security. Second is data warehouse layer for the storing, filtering, and extraction of data. Third is service layer which is related to data transmission. And Finally all information for combined treatment is provided through the portal system for medical consumer, political planner, and R&D researcher. Conclusion : In this paper, we studied the essential factors of combined treatment information in the view point of information system. But the detailed design and implementation of information system must be followed to effect this results.
