A Study on the Major Principles of the GATS and Its Implications for South Korea

BAE, Sungho 한국무역금융보험학회(구 한국무역보험학회) 2015 무역보험연구 Vol.16 No.3

서비스산업은 한 국가의 GDP에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요소가 되었다. 이에 따라 국제통상에서 서비스무역이 차지하는 중요성은 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. WTO 체제하에서 서비스무역은 ‘서비스무역에 관한 일반협정(GATS)’에 의해 규정된다. GATS는 GATT(관세 및 무역에 관한 일반협정)과 마찬가지로 무역자유화에 그 목적을 둔다. GATS의 다양한 원칙 중 MFN(최헤국대우)와 구체적 약속(시장접근 및 내국민대우)은 무역자유화와 직결되는 핵심원칙이다. GATS의 목적인 서비스무역의 자유화는 궁극적으로 규제완화를 통해 달성할 수 있다. 한국은 그간 다양한 국가 및 지역들과의 FTA 체결을 통해 통상강국으로 자리매김하였다. 그러나 아직도 수많은 규제들을 유지함으로써 통상강국의 위상에 부합하지 못하는 결과를 초래하고 있다. 규제완화는 우리의 서비스무역 활성화에 필수적인 요소이다. 따라서 GATS의 주요원칙을 분석하고 한국이 서비스 무역을 위한 적극적인 규제완화를 해야 하는 이유에 관하여 논하고자 한다. Trade in services is stretching its influence in international trade as service industry is becoming the heaviest contributing factor for a country's GDP. Under the WTO system, trade in services is regulated by General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS). The goal of GATS and GATT is similar, if not identical, as both treaties attempt to realize liberalization of trade in good and services. Among various rules in GATS, MFN and specific commitments are the major principles. The application of such principles in GATS is different from GATT. Deregulation is ultimate measure for liberalization of service trade. South Korea is an active participant in international trade as it has demonstrated ratification of free trade agreements with various countries and regions. However, South Korea keeps service industry regulations beyond reasonable level. Deregulation is necessary for South Korea’s benefit. This paper analyzes the major legal principles of GATS and examines what South Korea would face without active deregulation in service industry.

A Study on Safeguards As a Means to Bring Protectionism Back to Korea – U.S. Trade

Sungho Bae(배성호) 한국관세학회 2017 관세학회지 Vol.18 No.1

The goals of the WTO is to promote free and fair international trade. It ultimately means a trade liberalization through lowering tariff rate and deregulation. The WTO Member countries have formed various Regional Trade Agreements to expedite trade liberalization. However, in cases where import surge causes serious injury to domestic industries which produce like products, the WTO and RTA Agreements provide leeways for an importing party to cure the injury through measures, including countervailing duty, anti-dumping, and safeguards. Recent trade policies announced by the United States are heavily based on protectionism. Such a protectionism will affect South Korea and may lead to the KORUS FTA renegotiation. Safeguard is a less-complicated measure to take because it belongs to the President’s discretion, and the serious injury does not need to be caused due to an unfair trade. Rather, safeguard may be implemented even where a trade is entirely fair. The importance of understanding safeguards procedure is significant. Therefore, this paper will discuss three legal bases (the law of the WTO, the Trade Act of 1974 of the United States, and the KORUS FTA) on safeguards.

A Comparative Study on Safe Harbor and Takedown Notice for Online Service Providers

Sungho Bae 한국무역연구원 2013 貿易 硏究 Vol.9 No.6

Among various legal issues arising from social network services (SNS), copyright infringement is one of the most frequently occurring legal violations. With dissemination of smart-phones, copyright infringement has escalated. Section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and Chapter 18 of the KORUS FTA handle the issue through safe harbor provision and takedown notice clause. Many legal disputes including Viacom v. YouTube have been brought to courts, and majority of the cases are still pending for the courts' decision in the United States. In addition, it is unfortunate that the number of copyright infringement in South Korea has not been decreased as much as expected since the ratification of the KORUS FTA. It is critical for service providers. copyright owners, and the SNS users to understand how safe harbor protection provision and takedown notice clause works. Therefore, this paper attempts to compare similarities and differences of safe harbor provision and takedown clause between the DMCA and KORUS FTA.

China s Crackdown on Corruption and Its Legal Implications for Multinational Corporations in China

Sungho Bae 한국무역연구원 2014 貿易 硏究 Vol.10 No.1

Considering its importance as a hub for international trade and business, China is probably considered as the most attractive market for various forms of business for Multinational Corporations (MNCs). In fact, almost every MNC has some type of business operation in China. Coupled with the PRC Criminal Law and PRC Anti-Unfair Competition Law, Xi Jinping, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and the President of the People s Republic of China, hasprioritized anti-corruption law enforcement spurred by the new Interpretation of the Supreme People s Court and the Supreme People s Procuratorate in the Handling of Criminal Bribery Cases. Even though bribing has historically been tolerated as part of business practice in China, such a practice now meansharsh punishment for the MNCs. MNCs from particular jurisdictions like the United States may face even higher possibilities of investigation by both Chinese law and its domestic law, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). Knowing Chinese anti-corruption law and having compliance measures areessential for all MNCs operating in China. Therefore, this paper attempts to analyze China s three major anti-corruption laws including the PRC Criminal Law, PRC Anti-Unfair Competition Law, and the new Interpretation of the Supreme Court and Procuratorate of China and discuss their impact on MNCs.

채권자대위권 행사 통지 후 계약이 해제된 경우 민법 제405조 제2항의 ‘처분’에 해당하는지 여부

배성호(Bae SungHo) 한국부패학회 2013 한국부패학회보 Vol.18 No.4

본 연구에서는 제405조 제2항의 연혁과 입법취지를 살펴보고, 다음으로 다른 처분제한제도와 비교한 후, 채권자대위에서 제3채무자의 지위 등에 관하여 살펴봄으로써, 판례의 태도변화가 타당한지 여부를 살펴보고자 하였다. 채권자대위권 행사 통지 후 계약이 해제된 경우 제405조 제2항의 처분에 해당하는지 여부와 관련하여, 권리의 귀속 자체에 아무런 변경이 없는 채권자대위권의 경우에 “채 무자가 채권자대위권행사의 통지를 받은 후에 채무를 불이행함으로써 통지 전에 체결 된 약정에 따라 매매계약이 자동적으로 해제되거나, 채권자대위권행사의 통지를 받은 후에 채무자의 채무불이행을 이유로 제3채무자가 매매계약을 해제한 경우 제3채무자는 계약해제로써 대위권을 행사하는 채권자에게 대항할 수 있다”고 하는 대상판결의 태도 변화는 민법상의 여러 제도와 비교하여 볼 때 정합성 있는 해석으로서 타당하다고 본 다. 그 구체적 이유는 제405조 제2항은 채무자와 제3채무자의 합의 내지는 단독적 처분 행위에 의하여 채권자의 권리침해가 되는 것을 막자는데 그 입법취지, 처분제한의 전형 적인 사유인 채권압류 또는 가압류의 경우에 제3채무자가 채무자의 채무불이행을 이유로 계약을 적법하게 해제할 수 있음과의 비교, 채권양도의 경우와의 비교 및 제3채무자의 지위 등에 비추어 대상판결의 결론은 타당하다 할 것이다. This paper will examine the history and the purpose to legislate the 2nd clause of Article 405 in the Civil Law, the other institutions or systems for limiting the execution or measure. Also, it will review the legal status of a third-party debtor and other issues in obligee’s subrogation. By doing so, I will cast light on whether the change of attitude in the cases is appropriate. In regards to whether the cancellation can be considered as the measure or the execution defined in the 2nd clause of Article 405 in the Civil Law in case of the cancellation of a contract after the notice for the exercising of obligee’s subrogation right is sent, if obligee’s subrogation right is concerned as no change is made as to who has the right, the change of attitude in the case concerned here is believed to be appropriate because it is to be considered as the consistent interpretation as compared to many different kinds of institutions and systems in the Civil Law. The case stated that “By the use of the cancellation of a contract, a third-party debtor may defy the excercise of obligee’s subrogation right in case that a sales contract is automatically cancelled by the stipulation agreed upon before the notice when a debtor does not perform his liabilities after receiving the notice for the exercising of obligee’s subrogation right or that a third-party debtor cancels a sales contract for the failure of a debtor to carry out his liabilities after he is informed of the notice for the exercising of obligee’s subrogation right.”

이행기 전의 이행거절과 채권자의 손해경감의무―영미법을 소재로 하여―

배성호(SungHo Bae) 한국부패학회 2012 한국부패학회보 Vol.17 No.1

When the time of the contract performance is due, one party positively states that he or she will not substantially perform a contract; the issue of anticipatory repudiation will come into being. In such as this case, whether or not it is permissible to the injured party to demand the contract performance from the denying party. The direct compensation could be obtained under German, American, British and UNIDROIT, in that condition, the injured party gained the benefit through that compensation. We should bear in mind also the injured party possesses the other option whereas he or she can demand the contract performance whenever the relevant time is due. However, if the contract subject is movable or manufactured commodities as it was mentioned above the injured party has two options, i.e. immediate demand to be compensated regarding to (damages), second delaying his or her reaction until the performance is became due (fulfillment), in that situation the conflicts between those options could be occurred, since the movable or manufactured commodities enjoy changeable value. This essay depicts about the legal principle of repudiation, exams anticipatory of repudiation and creditor's duty to mitigate which affected the other regulations such as German and UNIDROIT. Eventually the implications of Korean civil law at the recent subject matter will be under analytical view as the conclusion of this study.
