  • 하천 내 반려동물 운동·휴식 편의시설 설치 하천법 일부개정법률안 대표발의
        더불어민주당 김회재 의원(전남 여수시을)은 13일 하천 내 반려동물 편의시설을 설치할 수 있도록 하는 내용의 '하천법 일부개정법률안'을 대표 발의했다. 현행법 상 하천구역에서 가축을 방목·사육하는 행위는 금지되어 있다. 그러나 반려동물 가구가 늘어남에 따라 반려동물과 함께 하천을 이용하는 사례가 많아, 이들을 위한 별도의 휴식 등 편의시설이 필요하다는 지적이다. 이에 김 의원은 개정안을 통해 하천구역 내 반려동물 운동·휴식시설을 설치할 수 있도록 규제 조항을 일부 완화했다. 또한 이용 급증에 따라 발생할 환경 오염을 예방하기 위해 오염 실태 주기적 검사, 오염 우려지역 조치 명령 등도 개정안에 포함했다. 국무조정실은 올해 2월 규제개혁신문고에 접수된 국민 건의 중 하천 내 소규모 반려동물 놀이터 등 설치를 대표 사례로 선정해, 2022년까지 법 개정을 추진하겠다 밝힌 바 있다. 김회재 의원은 “반려동물 천만 시대에 많은 시민이 반려동물과 함께 생활하고 있다. 시민과 함께하는 반려동물도 불편함이 없도록 규제를 완화할 필요가 있다”고 지적했다.

               '개 식용 문제 논의를 위한 위원회'는 2021년 12월 9일 출범 후 4월 현재까지 개 식용 문제 해결을 위한 논의를 진행해 왔다.   그동안 활발한 논의를 통하여 개 식용 종식이 시대적 흐름이라는 인식에 공감대를 이루는 성과가 있었으나 아직 합의에는 이르지 못해, 추가적인 논의를 위해 위원회 운영을 2개월 연장하기로 결정하였다.   위원회는 운영 초기부터 개 식용 문제에 대해 이해관계자 등 참여자들 간에 입장 차이가 커서 상호 이해의 폭을 넓히는 것에 중점을 두어 운영하였다.   이에 따라 개 식용 문제 논의에 활용하기 위해 식용 목적 개 사육 현황 등을 조사했으며, 이는 식용 목적 개 관련 통계 자료가 없었던 상황에서 정부가 처음으로 조사했다는 의미가 있다. 또한 개 식용 관련 국민의 인식을 알아보기 위한 설문조사를 실시하였다.   한편 갈등관리 전문기관을 통해 참여 위원과 관련 업계 종사자 등에 대한 심층면접을 실시하여 종식시기, 지원방안 등 그들의 관심 사항과 대립되는 입장을 정확히 진단하여 갈등을 해결하기 위해 노력하였다.     아울러 대만의 개 식용 종식 관련 현지 전문가와 국제 화상회의를 통해 ‘대만의 종식 사례’를 파악하는 등 공감의 폭을 넓혔으며, 이외에도 ‘개 식용 관련 위생적 문제점’, ‘현행법 체계’ 등에 대한 전문가 발표와 논의를 통해 개 식용과 관련한 현 상황을 진단하고 이해를 도모하였다.   참고로 정부는 2021년 11월 25일 국무총리 주재로 ‘국정현안점검조정회의’를 개최하여 '개 식용 문제에 대한 사회적 논의 추진 방향'을 논의하였으며, 그 결과 사회적 논의기구를 관련 동물보호단체, 육견업계, 전문가, 정부 인사 등 21명으로 구성하여 개 식용 문제를 논의하기로 한 바 있다.   정광호 위원장은 "위원회 운영의 기본 원칙인 합의 정신을 실현하기 위해 육견업계와 동물보호단체 등의 입장을 발표할 수 있는 기회를 부여하는 등 충분한 시간을 가지고 논의하는 방식으로 위원회를 운영했으며, 개 식용 종식이 시대적 흐름이라는 인식을 같이하는 성과를 거두었다”라고 강조하면서, "앞으로 그동안 쌓은 위원 간 신뢰와 공감대를 바탕으로 대타협을 도출하기 위해 최선을 다하겠다”라고 밝혔다.

It would be helpful that find the company’s management direction, changes in the industry and company’s outlook. Many companies want you if If you can clearly show your potential and your goals to contribute within the company.

  • [단독외신] Goldman Sachs restates quarterly earnings on 1MDB settlement
    [단독외신] Goldman Sachs restates quarterly earnings on 1MDB settlement Chris Hondros/Getty Images Goldman Sachs on Friday lowered its previously stated quarterly earnings as the bank set aside more money to pay for its settlement with the Malaysian government over the multi-billion-dollar 1MDB scandal. Goldman lowered its net earnings applicable to common shareholders to $197 million from $2.25 billion, in a filing published Friday. The revised earnings reflect a larger-than-previously-announced provision for legal and regulatory costs due to a $3.9-billion settlement the bank reached with the Malaysian government. The bank said it set aside $2.96 billion in the second quarter for legal and regulatory costs, up from the $945 million Goldman said it set aside on July 15 during its second-quarter earnings announcement. The bank’s stock was up 0.2 percent in early afternoon trading on Friday. On July 24, Goldman agreed to pay the Malaysian government $2.5 billion cash and return at least $1.4 billion in proceeds from assets linked to sovereign wealth fund 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), in exchange for Malaysia dropping all criminal charges against the bank. US and Malaysian authorities estimate $4.5 billion was stolen from the fund between 2009 and 2014. Goldman helped the fund raise $6.5 billion in two bond offerings, earning itself $600 million in fees, according to the US Department of Justice. Goldman faces a separate investigation by the DOJ, which is reportedly looking at whether the bank violated the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which bars US companies from paying foreign government officials for help in getting or keeping business. While it remains unclear if the bank’s reserves could cover another settlement, the DOJ has pledged in recent years to consider parallel settlements when calculating corporate penalties. A source told Reuters in December that Goldman was in talks with U.S. officials to possibly pay up to $2 billion to resolve the investigation.

  • [단독외신] Delta wants at least 3,000 flight attendants to take unpaid leave
    [단독외신] Delta wants at least 3,000 flight attendants to take unpaid leave George Frey/Getty Images Delta Air Lines will need at least 3,000 of its roughly 20,000 flight attendants to take unpaid leave of four to 12 months, or consider other options, to avoid involuntary furloughs, a person with knowledge of the matter said Friday. Airlines are suffering their worst crisis in history due to the coronavirus pandemic, which decimated air travel demand and crushed the US economy in the second quarter. The fallout has put tens of thousands of airline jobs at risk as carriers warn an industry recovery could take years. Atlanta-based Delta last month reported a 91 percent plunge in second-quarter revenue and a $3.9 billion adjusted pre-tax loss. Delta would need at least 3,000 of its roughly 20,000 flight attendants to take unpaid leave of up to 12 months, among other options outlined in a memo reported earlier by CNBC. A person with direct knowledge of the matter confirmed the contents of the memo to Reuters. A representative for Delta did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Delta told pilots last month it would avoid furloughs if they agreed to reduced guaranteed minimum pay. More than 17,000 workers at Delta, which had more than 91,000 employees in 2019, are taking voluntary departure packages, including more than 1,700 of 7,900 pilots, Reuters reported last month.

  • [단독외신] Twitter eyeing purchase of TikTok’s US operations
    [단독외신] Twitter eyeing purchase of TikTok’s US operations Getty Images Move over Microsoft — Twitter is joining the tech giant in pursuing the purchase of TikTok’s US operations after President Trump set a fall deadline for the video-sharing platform to strike a deal with an American company. Twitter approached TikTok’s Beijing-based parent company, ByteDance, to express interest in an acquisition, two sources told Reuters. The White House sparked the buying frenzy by flagging TikTok as a security threat because of its Chinese headquarters. President Trump has signed an executive order that would ban TikTok from operating in the country if a deal with an American company isn’t struck by Sept. 20. Trump and others in his administration have questioned the safety of the personal data collected by the Chinese company as tensions between the two countries rise. ByteDance has insisted it has never provided TikTok user data to China and that it would not do so if asked. The company’s CEO, Zhang Yiming, has expressed frustration over the U.S. forcing a sale, calling the timeframe “unreasonable” in an email to employees earlier this week. The company threatened legal action Friday after Trump signed the executive order. “For nearly a year, we have sought to engage with the U.S. government in good faith to provide a constructive solution to the concerns that have been expressed,” the company stated in an unsigned blog post. “What we encountered instead was that the Administration paid no attention to facts, dictated terms of an agreement without going through standard legal processes, and tried to insert itself into negotiations between private businesses,” the company said.
