Recently US/EU governments are utilizing nanotechnology as a key catalyst to support national innovation policies with economic recovery goals. US/EU nano policies have been serving as a global model to various countries, including Korea. So the authors initially seek to understand US/EU national innovation policy interconnections, and then find the role of nanotechnology development within. To strengthen national policy coherence, nanotechnology development strategies are under evolution as an innovation catalyst for promoting commercialization. To strategically support nano commercialization, EHS (Environmental, Health, Safety) and informatics are invested as priority fields to strengthen social acceptance and sustainability of nano enabled products. The current study explores US/EU national innovation policies including nano commercialization, EHS, and Informatics. Then obtained results are utilized to analyze weaknesses of Korean innovation systems of connecting creative economy and nanotechnology development policies. Then ongoing improvements are summarized focusing on EHS and informatics, which are currently prominent issues in international nanotechnology development.

In 2000, the EU set up an energy policy related renewables use for electricity demand up to $22\%$ on the purpose of preventing energy exhaustion and world climate exchange. Technology development and energy production policy on coal, oil and natural gas focus on how to minimize their environmental effects since the world energy system will continue to be dominated by fossil fuels with almost $90\%$ of total energy supply in 2030. In the long run, the EU drives expansion policy of the renewable energy. If related policies and programs will show successful operation in the near future and will be resulted in increase of budget, we could expect the possibility of expansion of renewable energy market in Korea in the future.

The purpose of this study is to find out the policy implications regarding the EU FP and EUREKA which consist of the main parts in the midst of the international technological cooperation with EU region that our government is implementing. This study consists of five chapters in all. The present situations of the international technological cooperation in EU region were investigated in chapter two. Successively, the theoretical background regarding the policy implications for the international technological cooperation in EU region was provided in chapter three. As the theories establishing the bases at this point, there are network and transaction cost theory. The research methods were provided in chapter four, and through the policy case study of our government's international technological cooperation in EU region, the theoretical establishment developed in chapter three was carried out in chapter five. Subsequently, conclusions and suggestions were drawn in chapter six.

최근 국내는 물론 전세계적으로 차세대 가입자망 구축이 활발히 진행되면서 EU를 중심으로 차세대 가입자망의 규제정책에 대한 논의가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 현재까지의 차세대 가입자망 관련 규제정책 논의는 차세대 가입자망 구축 활성화를 위한 투자 유인 제고 및 동등접근성 보장을 통한 경쟁활성화라는 두 가지 핵심 정책 목표에 초점이 맞추어져 있다. 이에 따라 EU의 차세대 가입자망에 대한 기본적인 규제정책 방향은 물론 유립내 각국들은 두 가지 핵심정책 목표 달성을 위한 차세대 가입자망 관련 구체적인 정책방향을 수립하고 다양한 정책대안을 제시하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 차세대 가입자망에 대한 기본적 개념, 국내외 차세대 가입자망 구축 현황과 EU 차원의 차세대 가입자망 규제정책 방향 및 EU 각국들의 정책 동향을 통해 국내 차세대 가입자망의 규제정책 수립시 고려해야 할 이슈들을 살펴보고자 한다.

This study aims at providing with the implication of the EU agri-environmental policy which modestly started in 1985 as an optional policy for the Member States and developed as one of main measures for the reformed CAP in 2013. The first AES was the ESA scheme which had a focus on specific areas where were regarded as having a high natural value and assisted farmers who were voluntarily participated in the scheme. Such a small scale measure has developed as a main policy of the CAP from several reforming processes. It is now applying for the entire land of the EU and necessary for every Member State to introduce the AES measures in their rural development plan. With the principle of cross-compliance and the whole farm approach, it is possible to encourage the European farmers to change their ways of farming into low-input farming. This is the best way to achieve sustainable farming and rural development. This analysis on the changing process of the AES provides the Korean government with somewhat logical perspective on the reform of agricultural policy. The most important thing is to recognise that protecting and restorating environmental and biological resource must precede economical utilising the rural resource.

Many different approaches and databases have been developed for the evaluation of non-tariff measures (NTMs) and free trade agreements (FTAs). This paper is devoted to the EU-South Korea agreement, which is the first 'second-generation' FTA of the EU, addressing a wide array of non-tariff policies. We review the evolution of NTM types applicable to the EU-South Korea trade relationship and the role of NTMs in ex-ante and ex-post analyses of the agreement. Subsequently a structural gravity model is employed to assess the value added of information on different aspects of FTAs and types of NTMs by evaluating their ability to predict the trade effects of the EU-South Korea FTA. Our results show that, when accounting for information on the components common in modern deep trade agreements, no additional trade effect is attributable to the EU-South Korea FTA. The evolution of NTMs differs considerably across indicators used, but trade predictions are hardly affected. Most specifications point towards a negative effect of bilateral differences in the number of technical barriers to trade (TBT) applied and sanitary and phytosanitary measures (SPS) against which trading partners issued complaints at the WTO.

After the adoption of the Lisbon Treaty, the European Union's Common Commercial Policy now belongs to the exclusive competence area of the EU, including the foreign direct investment (FDI) policy. Regarding the bilateral investment protection treaties (BITs) between the EU Member States, the European Commission is of the view that such BITs should be discarded. On March 6, 2018, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) held in the Achmea BV v. Slovakia case that a BIT between the EU Member States, as well as arbitral awards based on that BIT, is not subject to request for preliminary rulings under the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), and thus they are not compatible with the EU law. However, the judgment did not silence the controversy. Instead, many people questioned the legal reasoning and the legitimacy of judgment, and therefore the problem is still ongoing.

Europe outlined its technological development strategy in the "EU 2020 Strategy". The goal is to lift the EU's technological level above that of the United States or Japan. In particular the EU 2020 Strategy aims to make the EU the world's leading knowledge society. The research purpose of that article is to focus on international technological cooperation. Chapter two examines the EU's international technological cooperation approach. Chapter three analyses the EU 2020 Strategy in terms of development, background and content. Chapter four looks at the involved countries for technological cooperations and scrutinises possible policy alternatives. In chapter five is given a conclusion.
