한국과 중국이 체결한 FTA 무역구제제도 비교고찰

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find out the characteristics of the trade remedy system of the Korea-China FTA by comparing the trade remedy systems of the FTA concluded by Korea with the trade remedy systems of the FTA concluded by China. By doing this, we seek to find a countermeasure for the implementation of the Korea-China FTA. Composition/Logic: : The paper consists of five chapters. Chapter2 examines the current status of FTAs of both Korea and China and analyzes the trade remedy system of each FTA concluded by them. Chapter 3 analyzes the trade remedy system under the Korea-China FTA. Chapter 4 explores the problems and countermeasures related to the Korea-China FTA and the final chapter presents our conclusions. Findings: In the FTA concluded between Korea and China, bilateral safeguards are made stronger than those in WTO agreements by stipulating the shortening of the measures and a prohibition on their re-issuance. The multilateral safeguards do not allow mutual exclusion and are a form of WTO compliance. Meanwhile, countervailing tariff measures have been maintained by both Korea and China under the terms of the WTO Agreement. With regard to anti-dumping measures, Korea has adopted a zeroing prohibition clause and a lower duty rule to reduce the level of anti-dumping measures, but China lacks regulations on the mitigation of anti-dumping and countervailing measures. Originality/Value: There are not many papers that have analyzed the fifteen FTAs signed by each Korea and China. By examining the characteristics of the Korea-China FTA, we have been successful in both identifying the problems and suggesting countermeasures to resolve them.
