(구)「개항질서법」1)상의 “잡종선”이란 용어는 2011년 6월에 동 법률이 개정 되면서 “우선피항선”으로 명칭이 바뀌었고 용어의 정의도 달라졌다. 특히 “주로 개항의 항계 안에서 운항하는 선박으로서”라는 문구가 처음 삽입되어 많은 논란이 발생되게 되었다. 이후 해양안전심판원에서는 때로는 이전의 ‘잡종선’의 개념으로 우선피항선 해당여부를 판단하는 경우가 있었으며, 특히 총톤수 20톤 미만 어선의 우선피항선 해당여부에 대하여 논란이 있었다. 그러나 최근 해양 안전심판원은 이를 다시 판단하여 해당 어선이 우선피항선의 요건인 총톤수 20 톤 미만의 선박에 해당되더라도 무역항 내에서 주로 운항하는 선박이 아니면 우선피항선에 해당되지 않는다고 판단하였다. 그러나 그러한 판단이 타당하다 면 개정 이전 법률이 복잡한 무역항의 항계 안에서 선박운항의 안전 및 질서 유지를 위하여 상대적으로 조종성능이 우수한 20톤 미만의 선박을 모두 우선피 항선(잡종선)으로 규정한 원칙과 어긋나며, 이로 인하여 복잡한 무역항의 항계 내 해상교통질서가 위협받을 수 있게 된다. 그러므로 국가적으로 중요한 기능을 담당하고 있는 무역항의 해상질서 유 지와 안전을 위하여 관련 규정을 개정하는 것이 필요하다. 이상의 사항을 고려하면 「선박입출항법」제2조제2호의 본문에서 “주로 무 역항의 수상구역에서 운항하는 선박으로서”란 구절을 삭제하면 이 조항의 개 정수요를 해결하게 된다.

The Framework Agreement for the ASEAN-China Free Trade Area was initiated in 2002. It is the first ASEAN Plus pattern free trade agreement in East Asia. To understand the cultural and historical bonds between China and Southeast Asian States, and contemporary Chinese regional political economy in building the ACFTA, this paper reviews the tributary trade and ancient Chinese diplomacy between China and the neighboring States. The primary purpose of this research is to show how the ACFTA is in the interests of all parties in the course of China’s fast economic and political growth. The following article highlights the ACFTA provisions by examining trading agreements in goods, services and investment in the context of the corresponding WTO provisions. In the end, it suggests the possible resolutions for achieving a win–win and interdependent ASEAN–China Free Trade Area.

Economic globalization and regional economic integration have become the world’s two major trends of the world economy, with most countries pursuing broader economic development of space through the strengthening of national and regional economic and trade ties. The geographic proximity of China and ASEAN nations, both in terms of resources, industrial structure, and industrial and agricultural goods, among other things, is very complimentary, and the growth of economic and trade cooperation has a distinct benefit. Long-term “neighborly and friendly” strategic partnership relationships have provided a solid framework for the growth of economic and trade cooperation. The establishment of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area can achieve a win-win situation by not only complementing each other and expanding bilateral trade and cooperation on a larger scale, but also strengthening overall competitiveness and its ability to resist risks. Friendly relations between China and ASEAN will be further consolidated and strengthened to improve the Chinese and ASEAN in East Asia and the Asian region’s political status and ability to deal with international affairs. This article proposes solutions to the challenges that exist in the China-ASEAN Free Trade Zone. The establishment of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area will not only consolidate and strengthen China’s and ASEAN’s already friendly and cooperative relations, but will also further promote China’s and ASEAN’s respective economic development and regional cooperation and competitiveness. Finally, with the construction of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area, China and ASEAN will enjoy the benefits of economic globalization and regional economic integration even more, face obstacles jointly, and contribute to the growth and stability of Asian and global economies.

The establishment of China-South Korea Free trade area has a positive role in promoting bilateral trade. By analyzing the current situation of China-South Korea trade, the features of China-South Korea Free trade agreement and using intra-industry trade index and other indicators, this article intuitively shows the impact of trade. According to the analysis of the trade effect on China and South Korea, it is concluded that the intra-industry trade keeps improving, the trade deficit of both sides keeps shrinking, and the regional creation effect is obvious, as well as relevant suggestions for enterprises to increase preferential efforts to ensure the activity of the Free trade area and improve the standardization of it.

Purpose – Since the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea in 1992, bilateral trade between China and South Korea has been developing steadily. To meet the trend of economic globalization and regional economic integration, the governments of China and South Korea formally signed the China-Korea Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in 2015. Taking the recent development of China-Korea trade in the new era as an entry point, this paper proposes suggestions for promoting the sustainable development of bilateral trade by analyzing the current situation of China-Korea trade development. Design/Methodology/Approach – This paper firstly analyzes the development status of China-Korea FTA by combing the data from the Ministry of Commerce of China, and further analyzes the current situation of bilateral trade between China and South Korea by quantitative analysis, and studies the specific impact of China-Korea FTA on the import and export trade between the two countries; finally concludes the above study and makes suggestions. Findings – The development of China-Korea FTA has an obvious role in promoting the trade between the two countries and helps to promote the economic development of both countries. Suggestions include: China and Korea should further expand the depth of bilateral trade cooperation; use the China-Korea FTA to realize the upgrading of industrial structure of both countries; use the China-Korea FTA to expand bilateral cooperation in foreign investment services. Research Implications – The study of the trade effects of the FTA between China and Korea helps both countries to make full use of the opportunities brought by the establishment of the FTA, identify the problems in bilateral trade between China and Korea, and provide policy recommendations for achieving a win-win situation for both countries.

최근 자유무역지역은 물류 기능에 생산 기능을 적절히 보완하는 복합형을 지향하는 것이 일반적이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 광양만권 자유무역지역은 전통적인 물류 기능에만 집중되어 생산 기능 도입을 통한 부가가치 창출은 미흡한 수준에 있다. 따라서 자유무역지역을 지역 및 국가 발전의 성장 동력으로 활용하기 위한 기능 강화 방안이 제시되어야 한다. 기능 강화를 위해서는 생산 기능 도입을 통합 복합형 자유 무역지역 지향과 관리 운영상의 효율화 방안이 필요한 것으로 분석된다. 주요 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 단기적으로는 기존에 자유무역지역으로 지정되어 있는 서측 배후단지의 일부를 활용하여 생산 기능을 강화하고, 중장기적으로는 자유무역지역의 확대 지정을 통한 생산 기능의 강화가 필요하다. 둘째, 효율적인 관리 운영을 위해 단기적으로는 자유무역지역 간의 협력체계를 구축하는 것이 필요하며, 중장기적으로는 자유무역지역 간의 중복된 기능을 단일화하고 통합 관리하는 정책적 방안이 필요하다.
