유럽철도교통관리시스템(ERTMS, European Railway Traffic Management System) 개발은 1989년 유럽의 단일화된 상호호환성을 갖춘 철도노선 구축을 위해 유럽연합 정책의 일환으로 시작되었으며, 철도신호시스템은 유럽의 ERTMS/ETCS(European Train Control System)가 국제적으로 표준화가 되어 가고 있는 추세이다. 이에 대한 해결책으로 국내 열차제어 분야도 상호호환성을 고려한 열차제어시스템의 기술개발이 보다 더 필요한 시점이다. 유럽철도국(ERA, European Railway Agency)에서는 2020.12.31 이후 신규 ETCS 장착열차에 대해서 B3R2(Baseline 3 Release 2)를 제시하고 있으며 우리나라는 경부선, 호남선, 전라선, 경춘선에서 Baseline 2.2.0부터 2.3.0까지 설치되어 운영 중이다. 계속되는 Baseline의 upgrade에 따라 기술적인 검토사항과 경제적인 고려사항이 발생하고 있는 추세이다. 본 논문에서는 현재 배포된 최신의 유럽 표준 ERTMS/ETCS Baseline 3에 대한 주요기능 및 상호호환성을 분석하고, 향후 국내 KTCS(Korean Train Control System)의 Baseline 적용방안을 제시하고자 한다.

Objectives: The study aim was to evaluate the application of a chemical exposure assessment tool for the Korean workplace. The Ministry of Employment and Labor in Korea (KMOEL) introduced the need for workplace risk assessments in 2011, requiring the Korean chemical industry to consider both domestic and international chemical regulation policies (e.g., estimations of exposure scenarios). Exposure scenarios are required in the European Union as part of material safety data sheets (MSDS) under the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) system. Methods: Although many programs for the estimation of exposure have been developed worldwide, to date there is no standard for the Korean workplace. To develop programs suitable for the Korean workplace, we examined the applicability of the European Center for Ecotoxicology and Toxicology of Chemicals target risk assessment (ECETOC TRA), which is recommended by the European Chemical Agency (ECHA). Results: To investigate the applicability of the ECETOC TRA to Korean industry, this study simulated 15 industrial processes. The predicted respiratory exposures for four processes using origin input parameters were underestimated compared to the measured respiratory exposure. Using calibrated input parameters, results for two processes were underestimated compared to the measured respiratory exposure. This result suggests that the use of calibrated input parameters reduces the differences between predicted and measured respiratory exposure. Conclusions: we developed applicable exposure estimating method by modifying the ECETOC TRA program; one suggested the development of exposure estimating program that explains Korea domestic workplace exposure scenario.This study will support the introduction of exposure scenario in MSDS system and protect health of worker from hazardous chemical.

Background: European policymakers encourage individuals to become self-employed because it is a way to promote innovation and job creation. It can be assumed that health and well-being among the self-employed and managers in small-scale enterprises are particularly crucial in this enterprise group because the smallness of the enterprise makes its members vulnerable. Earlier studies have indicated that the self-employed have a high working pace and work for long and irregular hours, indicating that it can be difficult to stay at home because of sickness. The purpose of this study is to investigate the occurrence of sickness presenteeism among the self-employed in relation to the organizationally employed and to analyze whether any differences can be explained by higher work demands among the self-employed. Methods: The study is based on the fifth European survey on working conditions (2010) and includes the northwestern European countries in the survey. The questions cover a wide range of topics designed to meet the European Union's political needs. The main variables in this study are sickness presenteeism and several indicators of time demands. Results: The results show that the self-employed report a higher level of sickness presenteeism than the employed: 52.4 versus 43.6%. All indicators of time demands are significantly related to the risk for sickness presenteeism, also when controlling for background characteristics. Conclusion: The results confirm that the level of sickness presenteeism is higher among the self-employed and that high time demands are a major explanation to this.

본 논문에서는 삼차원게임이론의 논리 구조를 통해 지역경제통합체, 즉 유럽연합의 통상 협상 전략 및 협상력을 분석하였다. 삼차원게임이론에서는 협상자가 각 면 게임의 경계에 서서 게임을 동시에 운용해 나아가면서, 각 방향으로부터 제약을 받거나 때때로 제약을 기회로 활용하는 등 삼중 측면의 협상 전략이 상존함을 강조하였다. 삼차원게임이론에 대한 연구는 지역연합이 협상의 주체로서 등장하여 국제레벨, 지역레벨 및 회원국레벨의 의견을 조율하고, 이해관계를 조정하는 과정을 체계화하기 위한 목적을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 최근 체결된 EU-일본 EPA(Economic Partnership Agreement) 협상과정을 사례로 한-EU FTA 사례와 비교 분석하여, 지역경제협력체의 FTA 추진 시 적용할 수 있는 삼차원게임이론의 논리를 정리하였다. 또한 본고에서는 지역경제통합체의 통상협상 대상국은 협상에 임할 때 어떠한 전략에 대응할 수 있을 것인가에 관해 분석하였다. EU 지역차원의 통상정책 영역은 기술적 특성으로 정치화되기 어려운 영역에 관한 연합의 배타적 권한화가 이미 완성되었으며, 연합 차원의 정책과정이 정치쟁점으로 드러나지 않아왔던 점 그리고 여론 전달 과정이 더블 스텝 접근 방식인 점 등이 복합되어 그 특성을 형성해 왔다. 결론적으로 EU의 통상영역 정책 과정은 다양한 중앙조직에 의한 권한 배분으로 복잡하고 정교한 과정을 구성한다. 이러한 공동정책 결정과정과 통상 영역의 구조적 특성으로 말미암아 오히려 협상의 메커니즘 역설적으로 단순화되었고, 공동체 차원의 협상력은 높아졌다. 결과적으로 유럽위원회는 국제레벨 단계의 양자간 통상협상에서 매우 강력한 협상 행위자로 기능하게 된다.

Purpose - The Visegrád Group cooperation of the past 14 years and that of V4 for the past 20 years has very important significance in the 21st century that must be maintained. This cooperation is valuable because of the trade routes that connect northern Poland to the Balkans in southern Croatia, which forman important basis for the resuscitation of Central European development. Currently, because of the European manufacturing base and industrial development, an energy supply and stable energy distribution networks have been introduced to secure cooperation and not competition within the Visegrád Group. This paper's research emphasizes the supply chain hub in neighboring countries. Although Central and Eastern European countries are small, they can provide a competitive response to Western Europe if they collaborate with the V4 group and other countries. Research design, data, and methodology - The subjects of this study in the Visegrád Group area are related to the development of Marketing and Distribution Sciences in the integrated European Union. In relation to the existing energy infrastructure, construction companies and financial institutions benefit from large-scale construction projects. Existing or new infrastructure facilities among the V4 must comply with the preconditions of regional energy markets. The network of emerging markets is changing into a European-logistics hub of new markets. This hub is closely associated with the economic development of European self-sustainment given that energy for distribution and consumption is imported from Russia. Therefore, this paper indirectly provides data on the regional distribution of energy as alternative bases in Europe for market expansion to Asia. Results - As a result, it appeared unlikely that V4 failed to implement homogeneity following the standards of Western Europe, as proposed by the EU. Throughout European history, individuals have gathered in Central Europe as an innovation hub. Currently, the region is being established independently for energy industrial development and not for tourism development, and is expected to play a central role in innovation and distribution consumption. Therefore, similar to Western and Northern Europe, V4 only appears to engage in distribution consumption on the basis of the identity that it formed for itself. This area is expected to either create a regional platform or a voice over a single economic policy. Conclusions - To this end, regarding the distribution of consumer groups within and outside the region, the V4 group is expected to be established for various policy areas and as a Eurasian outpost of trade and distribution logistics. In addition, given its purpose of engaging in the distribution of energy cooperation and trade clusters, the Visegrád Group will be in charge of the center axis of the bridge for distribution logistics trading partners from the Western Balkans to Caucasus and Eastern Europe. Thus, the Visegrád Group is entering this region as a platform for market share by enabling all or any investor can gain greater industrial benefits.

Purpose - As economic activities between different countries have rapidly spread in a world of free trade, it is inevitable that a large volume of cargo will be carried between countries. It is natural, then, that CO2 emissions and other environmental pollutions have followed, which exposes people and society to serious environmental problems and social costs, and so on. Therefore, the need to understand logistics is not only a matter of transportation but also an environmentally oriented matter. The purpose of this study is to look at some lessons and implications from the European case in terms of green logistics matters. Research design, data, and methodology - In order to look into this matter, first, it has to be established that some cargo transport volumes using different transportation modes have clearly declined because of previous economic recessions. Some transport policies produced by the European Union (EU) are based in a long history of struggling to cope with transport matters in European countries. In its recent transport policies, the EU has provided greener transportation alternatives, realizing that pollution matters affect the European transport market. This study tries to determine what policies the EU has implemented to deal with green logistics matters. This study concentrates in particular on the Marco Polo program in the EU. Results - This study found that the EU seems to consider these kinds of matters, that is, transport and the environment in the context of green logistics. The EU launched some policy instruments to solve this matter relatively earlier than other countries and reviewed them as necessary. In order to make these policy tools work, the EU provided PACT for combined transport, and then the Marco Polo I and II European transport white paper packages. These European policies deal with green logistics matters in two ways. First, some restrictions have been imposed, especially taxation, and so on. Transport subsidies are also powerful means of handling green logistics matters in Europe. Along with these two means of dealing with transport and the environment, the EU eventually targeted integration of different transport modes. Instead of employing only a single transport instrument mode to deliver the cargo to be carried, such as trucking, rail, ocean-going carrier, flight, or inland waterway transport, the EU has proposed that combining transport modes is the best alternative for transport and the environment. That is, the EU is pursuing the adoption of multimodalism as an answer to the green logistics challenge as it provides a more cost efficient and more productive means of transport. Conclusions - In conclusion, multimodal transport should be considered when applying green logistics, as it can provide an alternative way to achieve transport and environmental solutions together at the present time. Two methods can be used to encourage multimodal transport: restrictions and subsidies. These are the lessons and implications from European green logistics policies.

세계의 모든 국가들은 국가내 지역간 경제적 격차 문제를 가지고 있으며, 특히 유럽연합(EU)의 경우 경제적 발전단계가 각기 다른 27개 회원국들로 구성되어 있어 이러한 지역간 격차문제는 더욱 심각하다고 할 수 있다. 하지만 유럽연합 초기에는 지역정책을 주로 회원국의 손에 맡겨두고 공동체 차원에서는 적극적인 지역정책을 펼치지는 않았다. 그 후 1970년대에 새로운 회원국을 받아들이는 과정에서 유럽지역개발기금(ERDF)을 신설하게 되었고, 이를 계기로 유럽연합의 지역정책은 공동체내에서 주요한 정책으로 부상하였다. 특히 유럽연합이 1980년대 회원국들 간의 단일시장을 추구하고, 1990년대에 경제통화동맹(EMU)을 추진하는 과정에서 지역정책의 역할이 더욱 강화되었고 관련된 기금의 규모가 4배 가까이 증가하게 되었다. 최근에는 중 동유럽국가로 회원국이 확장되면서 회원국들 간의 사회 경제적 격차가 더욱 확대되어 이의 해소를 위한 연합차원에서의 지역정책 역할이 그 어느 때 보다도 절실히 요구되고 있는 시점이다. 이러한 관점에서 이 논문에서는 EU가 설립초기부터 지역간 불평등 문제들을 해소하기 위해 시행해 왔던 지역정책들의 내용과 배경, 발전과정 등을 검토해 본다.

In March 2015, the milk quota system in Europe that had lasted for more than 30 years was abolished to improve the competitiveness of the European dairy sector in the international market. Despite an increase in the consumption of dairy products in Europe, the milk price is expected to stabilize in the next decade after a decrease between 2015 and 2016. This stabilization of prices will be caused by a significant increase in production, with the proportion exceeding domestic demand to be exported. In the international market, the price of milk will reduce in the next decade, leading to a restructuring of the milk sector with a lower number of farms, but with higher production and efficiency. Mountain farms will follow the same trend, although these farms play an important social role by providing ecosystem services such as maintaining cultural services, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting soil stability, and improving the aesthetic value of the landscape. Nevertheless, they remain at a disadvantage compared with lowland farms. To prevent the loss of mountain farms, there is thus a need to valorize the ecosystem services that they provide and promote the processing of milk into certified products of high quality.

Cost reduction and equality by exempting re-scanning of passengers, baggage and cargo secured from the first airport of departure, mainly in the European Union/European Economic Area(EU/EEA), Switzerland, etc. One-Stop Security(OSS) is being promoted to maintain the level of security while increasing speed and convenience, and movement is expected to expand worldwide. Therefore, this paper establishes the basic concept of OSS through a literature review of ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices(SARPs), and analyzes the actual conditions of OSS implementation in major countries such as the United States and the EU. It is intended to present the political, economic benefits for Korea and highlight the urgency of implementing the OSS system in the aviation industry including the cargo sector. Therefore, the practical implications of strengthening international cooperation through the expansion of government and airport operators OSS implementation to overcome the resource shortage problem of the existing national air cargo security system and to strengthen the status as a global aviation powerhouse were drawn up. There is academic significance that it raised the need for effective implementation of OSS, which was not previously covered.

The introduction of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) has strengthened and extended the value of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as a fundamental tool for sustainable development. In particular, SEA helps to overcome the limitation of project EIA as a stand alone approach that is applied relatively late in the decision making cycle. SEA is applied to proposals of policy, plan, and/or programme when major alternatives are open. In Korea, similar to SEA, the Prior Environmental Review System (PERS) was introduced to overcome the limitations of the EIA, by checking the environmental impacts on major policy and administrative actions in the early stage of decision making process. SEA appears in various national, regional and international laws. SEA is addressed specifically in the UNECE SEA protocol to the Espoo Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a transboundary context, as well as the European Commission SEA Directive (2001/42/EC). SEA is a valuable tool for integrating sustainability decisions into country's policies, plans and programmes. This paper reviews the policy direction for implementation of the SEA and efficient Environmental Assessment (EA) through integration of the PERS and the EIA.
