새만금사업의 향후 법적과제 = The contemporary Legal subject of Saemangeum project

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In response to the new law(the special act for promotion of Saemangeum project) of December 2007, we as the citizens have shown large approval of the Saemangeum project. In light of the oncoming revision of the law, I expect that the current opinions of approval will not alter; hence the Saemangeum Project should commence with ease. I then must argue that this project must follow a balanced course that seeks to enhance our nation`s competitiveness in global politics while also practicing efficiency in allocating our national resources. The new law must embody a long-term agenda-engendering a landmark project that later generations may continue to utilize. Prior to the law`s revision, some prerequisites must be fulfilled. The revision process should entail measures for marine environmental pollution and water management procedures-thereby ensuring the local people of their personal safety. It is worth noting the Supreme Court`s past indication of the insufficient investigations into the Project`s environmental impact and the maintenance of water quality-which, in the end, stymied any solid development of the previous Saemangeun Project. In addition, the Supreme Court warned against the probable rise of various lawsuits in case these short comings continue to haunt the Saemangeum Project. Even if the development projects in Dongjin and Mangyeong are simultaneously pursued, in the case that the water quality in the respective areas, as well as the environmental effect of the industrial land enlargement, are inefficiently addressed, the Saemangeum Project will naturally encounter the immense waves of protest from environmental groups. Such situation would engender lawsuits and therefore create extra expenses that undermine the funding of the Project. I should also emphasize the loss of our national resources should this occur. Henceforth, the Lee government must respond to the current demands and situations that surround the revisional law of the Saemangeum Project. It should undergo various review procedures to materialize a final administrative decision. If the final review calls for measures that contradict the original plan of the Project, the government should resolutely adopt its new decision and start anew. The Project, in any matter, must be environmentally friendly. The contemporary debate about the adminstration of the Saemangeum project apparently requires further research that would allow for a perfect implementation of the Samangeum Project-a system in full service of national interests that is free of undermining lawsuits. In the end, the ideal of the pro-environment discourse is maintained in the midst of the ever-so-growing progress of the Saemangeum development.
