Abstract

Korean Abstract: 우리나라는 2000년대 후반부터 지역무역 자유화에 적극적으로 참여하여, 미국과 EU 등 거대 선진 경제권과의 FTA를 이미 발효시킨 상태이다. 최근의 지역무역협정 논의는 상품뿐만 아니라 서비스 및 투자 분야의 개방도 상당부분 포함하고 있다. 관세감축을 통한 상품시장 개방 노력이 거의 한계점에 이르러 앞으로는 관세 이외의 분야에 대한 논의가 깊어질 것으로 보이며, 특히 서비스 및 투자 분야의 협상은 더욱 활발해질 것으로 예상된다. 이에 본 연구는 WTO에서의 서비스 협정인 GATS를 바탕으로 한-미 FTA와 한-EU FTA 서비스 및 투자협정을 상호 비교하고 협정문 체계의 차이와 주요 조문의 기술상 차이를 분석함으로써, 이러한 변화가 가지는 의미를 규명하여 우리나라가 향후 FTA를 추진하는 과정에서 참고가 될 만한 시사점을 도출하고자 하였다. English Abstract: Since the late 2000s, Korea has actively engaged in FTA negotiations. As a result, Korea had already ratified nine FTAs, including the Korea-US FTA (the KORUS FTA) and the Korea-EU FTA. Nowadays, FTA negotiations have broadened their scope to include issues other than trade in goods such as service and investment. In addition, there is a distinct shift toward the so-called Mega-FTAs such as TPP, TTIP, and RCEP. This study examines service and investment chapters of the Korea-US FTA and the Korea-EU FTA. Taking GATS as a starting point, the authors first compared the legal texts between GATS and the Korea-US FTA and between GATS and the Korea-EU FTA. Then, they proceeded to find explanations for the identified differences. Regarding comparison of the Korea-US FTA and the Korea-EU FTA, there are two systematic differences: the existence of the investment chapter and the negative or positive list approach in liberalizing services and investment. First, only the Korea-US FTA has a separate chapter on investment. It is because the European Commission has not been empowered to negotiate on investment issues before the Korea-EU FTA negotiation was concluded. Second, the Korea-US FTA takes the negative list approach while the Korea-EU FTA takes the positive list approach.
