Negotiators from Korea and the U,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].S,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. began round seven of their free trade negotiations on Sunday. Senior trade officials from both sides stress this is a crucial round that will more or less decide if the two countries will be able to conclude the talks in time.
Korea's chief negotiator Kim Jong-hoon said that the results of the latest round will determine whether the KOR-U.S. FTA can be sealed before an April deadline. Similar sentiment was echoed by chief U.S. negotiator Wendy Cutler, who said this is the week to do everything the two sides can to conclude the deal.
However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the road to a successful deal will be long and bumpy. That's because agreements don't emerge neatly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one by one,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as the two sides engage in give-and-take in sensitive areas, but in a huge gush in the final stages reflecting the overall balance of gains and losses. The thorniest areas are already in the hands of senior-level officials.
At this stage of the nine-month-old negotiations,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], working-level talks will focus only on bilateral safeguards,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which are commonly adopted in an FTA to control a sudden surge in imports after trade barriers are removed.
Textiles,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an area of keen interest to the U.S., are also under scrutiny of high-ranking officials from the two countries. Difficult issues remain in each of the negotiating groups,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the biggest task for this seventh round is to find common ground.
Meanwhile,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], near the venue of the talks about 20 activists with the Korean Alliance Against the Korea-U.S. FTA,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a coalition of 280 organizations in Korea,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], have begun rallying. They vowed to do everything they can to stop the agreement deemed unfair to the Korean side. Along with candlelight vigils and demonstrations, the activists plan to camp out in tents in the sub-freezing temperatures as a show of protest.

Korea is once again on collision course with the U.S after the government and ruling party on Wednesday agreed to pull Korean troops out of Iraq by late next year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], less than two weeks after President Roh Moo-hyun promised his U.S. counterpart to wait before setting a date for their withdrawal. The decision comes hard on the heels of wrangles over the transfer of wartime operational control of Korean troops to Seoul.
President Roh Moo-hyun told U.S. President Bush in Hanoi on Nov. 18 that Korea will reduce Korean forces in Iraq but extend their mandate and did not mention withdrawal. According to a Cheong Wa Dae official,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Korea promised to discuss all matters concerning the Zaytun Unit in northern Iraq with the U.S. in advance, and the U.S. president thanked Korea for its cooperation. When the ruling Uri Party urged the government to present a pullout plan if the mandate is to be extended,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that is what it told the party,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and a Cabinet meeting approved a bill to that end on Tuesday. In consideration of the ruling party��s wishes, it added it will set out a pullout plan next year.

But just one day later,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], at a meeting between the government and ruling party on Wednesday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Defense Minister Kim Jang-soo reportedly promised to end the Korean troops�� mission in Iraq by Dec. 31,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 2007. A high-ranking Defense Ministry official denied a prior agreement between the government and ruling party,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], saying the government presented the Cabinet meeting��s decision intact,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and it was the ruling party that insisted on changing the bill.
The Foreign Ministry was embarrassed. ��How could the Defense Ministry and ruling party change a Cabinet decision in parliament? How dare they?�� a Foreign Ministry official agonized. ��I can��t believe it.�� The official demanded to know how the situation had changed. He said misunderstandings can be avoided if a country consults with its diplomatic partner before changing a promise made by the president and approved by the Cabinet. Some analysts speculate the ruling party actually solved a problem for the government,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which was reluctant to tackle the sensitive issue of troop withdrawal. Cheong Wa Dae denies the allegation. So far, there has been no U.S. responses to Korea��s pullout decision. The defense minister and ruling party,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], meanwhile,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], stand accused of turning the Cabinet into a mere puppet.

While distribution and growth should be pursued in tandem,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an excessive focus on distribution is liable to impede economic growth,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a state-run think tank said Friday.
"Growth and distribution are goals to be pursued simultaneously,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but a distribution policy above a certain point hampers economic growth," said Koh Young-sun,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a senior research at the Korea Development Institute (KDI). He made the remarks at a forum on the country's financial administration program,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sponsored by the Ministry of Planning and Budget.
"Distribution can facilitate economic growth by rectifying failures of the capital market and enhancing social integration,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Koh said. As examples,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he cited education and training opportunities offered to the poor, which help them break from poverty and thus boost general productivity. Escape from poverty can also reduce discord between classes and thus social instability,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he added.
But Koh singled out as obstacles to growth the crowding out of usable private resources by increased government welfare spending,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which can result in welfare dependence -- a so-called disease of developed countries - and possible confusion in policy goals.
"The country's welfare expenditures,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], lower though they are than those of developed countries, are projected to sharply increase in future due to the aging society,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Koh said. "Rather than intentionally raise welfare spending,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it should be reined in at a level that accommodates a natural increase in welfare expenditure because of the aging of society."

An appeals court on Sunday acquitted a 20-year-old college student of sexual assault against a 27-year-old married neighbor. The court accepted the student��s argument that he had a relationship with the woman,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The student,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], identified as Kim,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], met the woman identified as Lee, who lives next door, last July when he was a high school student. He visited Lee��s home frequently and they became lovers. One day last August,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Kim was talking to Lee while touching her intimately at Lee��s home. The landlord,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who was visiting the premises,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], spotted them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Kim fled. Police were called,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Lee told them a burglar had broken into the house and threatened her with a knife. Kim confirmed the account, apparently hoping Lee would not press severe charges if he covered up their relationship. Instead,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he found himself charged with attempted rape.
The court at first instance sentenced Kim to two-and-a-half years in prison. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Kim changed his mind during trial because Lee also demanded compensation and behaved offensively to Kim��s parents in order to prove her innocence to her husband.
On appeal,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Seoul High Court found Kim not guilty, saying it made no sense that, as Kim alleged,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a criminal would merely touch Lee��s body for two hours while threatening her with a knife. It also cited Kim��s knowledge of the layout of Lee��s home and personal information about her husband and children, plus the fact that he knew her telephone had been cut off.

The Hyundai Research Institute on Sunday released a report on new trends likely to affect the global economy in 2007. Titled ��Forecasts of the Nine Key Trends in the Global Economy",[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it predicts among other things a Chinese pop culture renaissance across the world,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a flood of top overseas English teaching institutes in Asia and firms adjusting their strategies due to climate change.
The report predicts China will assert greater influence on cultural and financial trends in 2007. Many Chinese cultural products,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], until now distributed locally through relatively primitive printing channels,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], will become available in global markets like the U.S. and the U.K. thanks to video technology. Meanwhile,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], China��s foreign currency reserves,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which exceeded the US$1 trillion mark last month, will bring big changes to the global financial and raw material markets.
The report also says the BRICs (Brazil, Russia,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], India and China) plus Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mexico and Turkey will emerge as a powerful new global economic force. The driving force for these countries to gain ground will come from their proximity to large markets such as China, India and the EU and their young and abundant labor force. Another new trend is that emerging Asian economies will focus more on education for future generations in light of rapid economic growth,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which will lead to a greater demand for education services there.
As the climate becomes more unpredictable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], companies may need to take preparations. Climate changes such as El Nino will affect everyday lives and companies should factor such changes into their management strategies, the report says. Other key trends include a change in the U.S. trade policy from free trade to protectionism,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], spread of large-scale mergers and acquisitions among different industries across the manufacturing and service industries, and the rise of the so called long-tail market,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where companies offer personalized products to customers in niche markets.

Smoke and fire after an Israeli airstrike hit the suburbs of Beirut,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Aug. 4, 2006
Israel carried out some of its heaviest airstrikes to date Friday in its 24-day air and ground campaign to push Hezbollah militants out of southern Lebanon and destroy the Hezbollah infrastructure in Lebanon. Six Israeli soldiers were reportedly killed in Lebanon on Friday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as Israeli ground forces continue to encounter heavy resistance from Hezbollah militants.

For the first time, Israeli airstrikes targeted Lebanon's Christian enclaves north of Beirut, destroying four bridges on Lebanon's main North-South Highway,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and effectively closing Lebanon's remaining road links with Syria. Israeli airstrikes also repeatedly struck the predominately Shi'ite suburbs of southern Beirut.
On the ground, Israeli troops encountered heavy resistance in their bid to dislodge Hezbollah guerrillas from areas along Israel's border that Israel wants to turn into a 15-kilometer-wide security zone. Israel's defense minister has reportedly requested approval to send Israeli forces even further north - to the Litani River - more than 20 kilometers inside Lebanon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in a bid to stop Hezbollah rocket attacks on northern Israel. Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev says Israel's strategy is in part dictated by the desire not to occupy large areas of Lebanese territory,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which it did for 18 years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], until the year 2000.
"We have made a decision not to reoccupy Lebanon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he said. "As a result,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], our ground strategy is flexible and mobile. The idea is that Hezbollah terrorists never know exactly where an Israeli position is. We want to beat them at their own game which is guerrilla warfare. For that reason we are going in,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and going out. We have this mobile strategy."
Meanwhile, Israeli troops backed by tanks and bulldozers kept up their ground operations in the Gaza Strip,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where they carried out overnight searches of residences and clashed repeatedly with Palestinian militants.
At least three Palestinians were killed on Friday. Eight Palestinians,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including a young boy were killed in clashes with Israeli troops on Thursday.
John Ging, the director of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], UNRWA, in Gaza says the cycle of violence shows no sign of ending anytime soon.

The government is developing solutions for the problem that the majority of the 78 member nations of the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) support the single name "Sea of Japan" for the body of water that geographically splits Korea and Japan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The issue will be discussed at the next IHO general conference,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which opens in Monaco on May 7.
"Although the majority of IHO member countries are supporting the single appellation 'Sea of Japan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],' we will never tolerate the sole use of that name,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," a government official said at press briefing on Monday.
"There has been widespread international sentiment to use both names,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 'East Sea' and 'Sea of Japan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],' yet the majority of IHO member nations are inclined to Japan's position. We are planning to explain to the member countries why using both 'Sea of Japan' and 'East Sea' is more appropriate," the official added.
The IHO reversed its previous position on using the single name "Sea of Japan" after an objection by South Korea at a 2002 meeting. In the fourth edition of "Limits of Oceans and Seas", the IHO deleted "Sea of Japan",[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which had been the sole name used since 1929,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and put the matter up for a vote. But a month later the vote was suspended apparently because of pressure from Japan. The coming IHO meeting will discuss the issue and put it to a vote again.
"We will make an effort to prevent the IHO from holding a vote on the single appellation 'Sea of Japan.' If the vote is held,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we will pursue a goal of getting member countries to abstain,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," the official said.
The government is planning to send a delegation led by Song Young-wan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the director general of the International Organization Bureau at the Foreign Ministry. The delegation will consist of members of the Foreign Ministry, the National Oceanographic Research Institute,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the North East History Foundation and a private research organization.

The Seoul Metropolitan Council on Wednesday ratified an amendment of an ordinance on parking lots which makes it compulsory for them to reduce car traffic,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
A total of 69 large buildings will have to submit a plan to do this by means such as reducing the size of parking lots or imposing fees where parking was free. The standard traffic volume is determined based on function and size of the building,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], parking capacity and availability of public transport access.
One department store spokesman said the decision "did not take the dire economic conditions into account,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," adding another regulation when department stores already pay fees for causing a large volume of traffic was "unacceptable."
