China’s newly revised Company Law takes effect from 1 January 2006. The newly revised Company Law brings about many changes to the previous Company Law and is aimed at delivering commercial and governance improvements. Whilst some of the changes do not directly impact on foreign companies investing in China, it is important that all foreign investors planning to invest in China have an understanding of how the new legislation operates. Under the old Company Law, there were different levels of minimum registered capital depending on the type of business being carried out. The revised Company Law removes the connection between industry sector and minimum registered capital. It also reduces the minimum registered capital requirements for a limited liability company to RMB30,000 and reduces the minimum registered capital for a joint stock limited company limited by shares from RMB10 million to RMB500,000. The revised Company Law now permits the contribution of any non-cash assets which can be monetarily valued and legally transferred. The old Company Law expressly provided that five kinds of assets could be contributed to the registered capital of a company (ie cash, tangible assets, industrial property rights, non-patented technology and land use rights).Under the old Company Law, only the chairman of the board of directors could be the legal representative of a company. The new provisions allow for a managing director or a manager to be the legal representative also. Companies are now permitted freely to invest in other companies as long as a company does not undertake joint liability for an invested entity’s debts. The rule prohibiting a limited liability company from making investments in other enterprises which exceed, in aggregate, 50% of the new asset value of such company has been abolished. The new Company Law introduces a number of measures aimed at increasing the protection of minority shareholders. Shareholders now have a statutory right to receive information, require a repurchase of their shares and petition for dissolution of the company. The new Company Law allows the corporate veil to be lifted in certain circumstances, which may result in the controlling shareholder being held personally liable for the debts of the company. Foreign investors must be aware that the changes to the previous Company Law only apply where current legislation on foreign investment is silent. Where the laws governing foreign investment differ from the provisions of the new Company Law, the former prevail. Otherwise the new Company Law is applicable to all companies, including foreign investment enterprises and joint stock limited companies.

인터넷상 주민등록번호에 의한 본인확인의 문제점과 개선방안

In Korea, confirming the identity of persons or adult identity verification on a visiting website or E-commerce activity on the internet is processed by asking users to become registered on it. There are several tools to confirm the identity of an individual on the internet such as Resident registration number, i-Pin, Public Verification Certificate, Cell phone certificate and Credit card certificate etc. Among them, Resident registration number is mostly common used and bound to be easily drained or stolen while in the process of storage or forwarding due to the internet characteristic of open-end network. Indeed, it happens often that draining or stealing of Resident registration number on the internet since it has been commercialized. By the way, Resident registration number includes important and sensitive personal information such as date of birth, gender and place of birth. Also, Resident registration number could be used as a medium of collecting personal information very easily. Thus, draining or misusing of Resident registration number may cause invasion of privacy and mental as well as economic damages against individuals. More serious effect is expected due to the limitation and weakness of Korean Resident registration number that is impossible to be discarded or changed when it’s drained or stolen. Because the confirming the identity on the internet is processed with correspondence of Resident registration number and name, there are many cases of steal and misuse of other’s Resident registration number in Korea. In this situation confirming the identity by Resident registration number is not effective and need reformation. In other major countries different from in Korea, individual can be a registered user and use the service without confirmation process using personal identification number for the E-commerce or entertainment website. People just need to enter their name and e-mail address, and basic payment information when it’s charging service. For instance, name and e-mail address are only necessary when someone wants to be a registered user of international internet shopping mall like eBay or Amazon. Thus, to prevent damages and diminish any harm from stealing or misuse of Resident registration number, we need to consider limit and prohibit confirmation of the identity with Resident registration number. Internet service providers should use other tools when it is necessary to confirm the identity of an individual for operating their services. Confirming the identity using Resident registration number should be permitted only when it’s regulated under the law. In addition, it is desirable to revise the law in order to promote use of other tools of confirming the identity of individual and regulate minimum inevitable use of the Resident registration number.

ESG 정보공시와 상장회사의 대응

이형규(Hyeongkyu Lee) 한국비교사법학회 2022 비교사법 Vol.29 No.4

ESG에 대한 논의가 국내외에서 활발히 이루어지고 있다. ESG 논의의 초기에는 기업에 대하여 자율적으로 ESG를 고려하도록 권고하였으나, 최근에는 상장회사의 ESG 관련 정보공시의 의무화를 추진하는 국가들이 급속히 증가하고 있다. 또한 국내외에서 많은 투자기관들이 기업에 대한 투자판단의 기준으로 ESG 관련 정보를 활용하고 있다. 이와 관련하여 국내외에서는 수많은 ESG 정보공시 가이드라인이 공표되었다. 따라서 국내뿐만 아니라 국제적으로 사업활동을 하거나 해외 투자자로부터 자금을 조달하는 국내 상장회사들은 ESG 경영과 관련된 정보공시와 평가에 용이하게 활용할 수 있고 또한 글로벌 스탠더드에 부합하는 ESG 정보공시 표준에 따라 보고서를 작성하여 공개할 필요가 있다. 우리나라의 모든 코스피 상장회사들은 2030년부터 지속가능경영보고서에 ESG 정보를 의무적으로 공시하여야 한다. 그런데 우리나라에서도 ESG 관련 정보공시 가이드라인들이 제정되었지만, 이들은 글로벌 차원의 ESG 정보공개 요구에 ‘충분한’ 지표라고 할 수 없다는 비판이 있다. 한편 EU에서는 ESG 관련 법제화를 선도적으로 추진하여 왔으며, 향후 글로벌 스탠더드에 상당한 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상된다. 특히 EU의 지속가능성 보고표준은 가장 광범위한 ESG 정보공개를 요구하고 있으며 규범력이 강한 기준이라는 평가를 받고 있다. 그러므로 국제적으로 거래를 하는 국내 상장회사, 특히 EU 역내에 자회사나 지점을 두고 있거나 가치사슬에 속한 기업과 사업관계에 있는 국내 상장회사들은 EU의 ESG 관련 법제의 시행에 대비하여 이에 부합되는 ESG 관리 및 정보공시 체계를 갖출 필요가 있다. Discussions on ESG are actively taking place at home and abroad. At the beginning of the ESG discussion, it was recommended that companies consider ESG autonomously, but recently, the number of countries that promote the obligation of companies to disclose ESG-related information is rapidly increasing. In addition, many investment institutions at home and abroad use ESG-related information as a criterion for making investment decisions on companies. In this regard, numerous ESG information disclosure guidelines have been published at home and abroad. Therefore, domestic listed companies that conduct business activities not only in Korea but also internationally or raise funds from overseas investors need to prepare and disclose reports in accordance with the “ESG Information Disclosure Standard” that can be easily used for information disclosure and evaluation related to ESG management and meets global standards. All KOSPI-listed companies in Korea are required to disclose ESG information in their sustainable management reports from 2030. In addition, ESG-related information disclosure guidelines have been enacted in Korea, but there is criticism that these can not be said to be 'sufficient' indicators to meet global ESG information disclosure requirements. Meanwhile, the EU has been leading ESG-related legislation and is expected to have a significant impact on global standards in the future. In particular, the EU's sustainability reporting standard requires the most extensive ESG information disclosure and is evaluated as a criterion with strong normative power. Therefore, domestic listed companies that conduct international transactions, especially domestic listed companies that have subsidiaries or branches in the EU or have business relationships with companies in the value chain, need to have an ESG management and information disclosure system in preparation for the enforcement of the EU's ESG-related laws.
