Abstract

Free Trade Agreement (FTA) has become one of the most highly debated issues in global society. FTA is to bring down all or certain trade barriers including tariffs and customs exclusively among the members of the nations to allow the goods and services to be traded freely. Compared to WTO which is a multilateral trade system to ensure the most favored nation treatment among all members, FTA is more of bilateral or regional preferential trade system among the members or the region. FTA, in general, is considered to be able to open a bigger market so that investments and exports of products and services with comparative advantages would be encouraged, enhanced, and eventually create larger trade productivity. However, the downside of it is that relatively smaller industries of either party might have to close down the business due to their far less competitiveness in the market. The EU is finally engaging seriously with Asia. While its official trade priority is the successful conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda (DDA), the EU announced in April the opening of negotiations on three bilateral free trade agreements (FTAs) with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), India and Korea. So what's in it for Korea? Korea as well as the EU, has much to gain from an FTA. The EU is larger and richer than the United States, so the trade potential is that much greater. From a strategic viewpoint, the commercial presence of the EU in Asia would also counterbalance the influence of the United States and the dominance of China. But more importantly the EU's sharply different social model compared to that of the United States influences the EU's attempt to ensure that any FTA contains social clauses covering sustainable development and core labor standards. Another issue is the problems of opening of labor market. As is generally known, a worker can move in EU precincts freely. As a result, workers from a cheap place to a high place of personnel expenses come to move. In addition, a system to regulate dispatch labor and contract labor is got ready. In contrast, the preparations that possessed it for Korea and the FTA conclusion with EU are insufficient because atypical labor protection law and dispatch labor law were got ready recently in Korea. After FTA with EU was concluded with Korea, if EU side demand the opening of the labor market from Korea side, it is expected when various problems produce it. In or the to solve such a problem, A study about a worker supply systems and education training systems in the major countries among EU, such as the U.K., Germany and France. It seems that this research sponsors one suggestion for the problems solving that I took up in the above.
