EU 통상법의 역외적용에 관한 최근의 변화와 대응 방향

The extraterritorial application of trade law as a domestic law is linked to the question of whether it is really to provide an environment that enables free trade. The EU frequently takes unilateral measures under trade laws, and as the environment of trade changes, the extraterritorial application of these EU trade laws also changes. The spread of extraterritorial application of domestic trade laws creates a protectionism phenomenon, which lays the foundation for international law for extraterritorial application of domestic trade laws through means such as FTAs, or pushes ahead with the extraterritorial application of domestic laws despite criticism from other countries. There are also several variables in expanding the extraterritorial application of domestic law. Recent supply chain crises and responses around the world, including the EU, can be seen as representative examples. Instead of establishing an exclusive industrial ecosystem that completely replaces the global supply chain of semiconductors in the region through related policies, the EU seeks to reinforce areas where some supply chain instability may appear. Korean companies cannot be free from the extraterritorial application of domestic law, so they must be familiar with the regulatory content. The problem of extraterritorial application is not avoidable, and it is realistic to think about how to respond to it.
