본 연구에서는 차기 임산물협상(林産物協商)의 관세인하(關稅引下)가 임산물시장에 미치는 영향을 검토하였고 그 영향을 최소화하기 위한 방안을 제시하였다. UR협상 결과와 뉴라운드협상 준비과정에서 나타난 양허범위(讓許範圍), 협상기준세율(協商基準稅率), 관세인하폭 등 쟁점사항에 기초하여 차기 임산물협상(林産物協商)의 관세인하(關稅引下)에 대한 시나리오를 작성하였고 관세인하(關稅引下)에 의한 시나리오별 영향은 임업연구원에서 개발한 국내임산물시장분석모델을 이용하여 추정하였다. 차기 임산물협상(林産物協商)의 관세인하(關稅引下)는 국내소비량 및 생산량보다 상대적으로 순수입량에 더 큰 영향을 마치는 것으로 추정되었다. 차기협상의 관세인하(關稅引下)가 합판시장 및 제품의 순수입량에 미치는 영향이 상대적으로 클 것으로 나타났으나 원목시장과 제품의 생산량 및 소비량에 미치는 영향은 1% 미만일 것으로 분석되었다. 관세인하(關稅引下)로 1차 가공제품의 국내생산량이 감소됨에 따라 원목의 국내소비량이 감소되고 이에 따라 원목의 국내생산량 및 수입량은 모두 감소될 것으로 추정되었다. 차기협상의 관세인하(關稅引下)에 대한 영향을 최소화하기 위해서는 협상기준세율(協商基準稅率)을 양허품목(讓許品目)의 경우에는 양허세율(讓許稅率)을, 미양허품목(未讓許品目)의 경우에는 현행실행세율(現行實行稅率)로 하고, 이행기간을 연장하고, 개도국의 지위를 유지하도록 노력하여야 할 것이다. 또한 WTO 규범내 합법적인 반덤핑, 상계관세제도(相計關稅制度) 및 긴급수입제한조치(緊急輸入制限措置) 등을 활용하는 것도 하나의 방안이 될 것이다.

The Ministerial Declaration of the 4th WTO Ministerial Meeting at Doha in November 2001 announced the launch of the New Round and a completion date of January 1st, 2005. It agreed to eventually negotiate trade and environment linkage issues, such as the relationship between the WTO rules and Multilateral Environment Agreements and the reduction or elimination of tariff and non-tariff barriers to environmental goods and services. The Committee on Trade and Environment was instructed to pursue work on all items on its agenda within the current terms of reference and to give particular attention to the effects of environmental measures on market access, relevant provisions of the TRTPS Agreement, and labelling requirements for environmental purposes. This means that far the first time, the members of the WTO will discuss and negotiate trade and environment linkage in the framework of multilateral trade negotiation. Korea, from the standpoint of a smaller open economy heavily dependent on international trade, is obliged to overcome the challenges imposed by the environment agenda in the Doha declaration. This study examined the linkage among environment, economic growth and international trade in order to review the possible trade and environment policy implications in Korea. Mutual supportiveness of trade and environment depends much on the effectiveness of trade and environment policy coordination. In this regard, we conclude that the Korean government should provide an appropriate institutional framework to promote closer cooperation among policy makers engaged in negotiations. Trade and environment policy review and environmental impact assessment of trade negotiation should be considered as a work programme of this institutional policy coordination framework.

The importance of the standards and its related texts established by Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) had been increased by the Agreement of Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS Agreement) in World Trade Organization (WTO). To meet the needs of WTO SPS Agreement, biennial CAC meeting had been changed to every year. This study was conducted to analyze the effects on interval between CAC meetings. The years of adoption, revision and amendment of CAC texts were collected from the official standard list and individual texts from CAC homepage. The period since establishment of CAC was divided into four groups by starting negotiation of Uruguay Round, WTO foundation and reducing the interval between CAC meetings. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS program. The numbers of CAC standards, guidelines, recommendations, maximum residue levels, and miscellaneous texts were 202, 56, 46, 3 and 5, respectively. Since 8 documents didn't contain the adoption year, these texts were eliminated to analyze adoption year. For adoption, annually 11.26 texts were established since establishment of CAC and there were no significant difference among the 4 groups. However the average numbers of revisions and amendments of adopted texts for overall periods and for each period were 7.56, 0.93, 6.50, 17.20 and 19.75, respectively. The average numbers of overall decisions, defined as summation of adoption, revision and amendment of texts, for overall periods and for each period were 12.37, 6.27, 9.00, 17.40 and 29.25, respectively. There were significant differences by the WTO foundation and the interval between CAC meetings. The reduced interval of CAC meetings influenced to increase number of revisions and amendments of adopted texts, but not yet adoption of new text.
