  • 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' 운영 연장
               '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.

  • S. Korea cautious against dexamethasone's efficacy against new coronavirus
    S. Korea cautious against dexamethasone's efficacy against new coronavirus SEOUL, June 17 (Yonhap) -- South Korean health authorities on Wednesday cautioned against the efficacy of dexamethasone in treating the novel coronavirus, saying the widely used steroid should only be used as a supplementary treatment against COVID-19. "Dexamethasone is a drug that reduces inflammation and does not fundamentally treat COVID-19," Jeong Eun-kyeong, head of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC), said during a daily briefing. The remarks came after scientists at the University of Oxford announced that dexamethasone reduces the risk of death in seriously ill COVID-19 patients by about 33 percent. The World Health Organization also said dexamethasone is the first treatment to be shown to reduce mortality in virus patients requiring oxygen or ventilator support. "We think dexamethasone is not a drug that is as effective as other treatments (such as remdesivir) but is a sort of supplementary treatment," Jeong said. The KCDC also cautioned against possible side effects, noting that other steroids have previously been used to reduce inflammation in COVID-19 patients. The country's drug watchdog, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, has so far approved the use of 79 dexamethasone-based drugs.

  • 속보N.K. to redeploy troops to Kaesong, Mount Kumgang areas, rejects Seoul's offer for envoys
    N.K. to redeploy troops to Kaesong, Mount Kumgang areas, rejects Seoul's offer for envoys SEOUL, June 17 (Yonhap) -- North Korea said Wednesday it has rejected South Korea's offer to send special envoys and will redeploy troops to two inter-Korean business zones near the border, unrelentingly ratcheting up tensions a day after blowing up a joint liaison office. The North's disclosure of its rejection of the special envoy proposal shows the regime has no intention to defuse tensions through dialogue and will carry out a series of measures it has threatened to take in anger over propaganda leaflets criticizing its leader. The sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un also issued a harshly worded statement lambasting South Korean President Moon Jae-in for failing to apologize for such leafleting and accusing him of "pro-U.S. flunkeyism." The moments of inter-Korean liaison office being destroyed South Korea reacted angrily to the North's moves, with the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae slamming the North Korean leader's sister, Kim Yo-jong, for her "rude" and "senseless" criticism and warning it will no longer tolerate such "indiscreet" words and acts. It also denounced the North's disclosure of its special envoy offer as an "unprecedentedly senseless act." The defense ministry warned that the North will pay the price if it actually takes military action, and the unification ministry expressed "strong regret" over the North's plan to send troops to the joint economic zones. The exchange of threats and warnings marked a new high in tensions, aggravated dramatically by the North's blowing up of an inter-Korean liaison office building Tuesday, and deepened fears that the situation could spiral out of control into accidental clashes. Earlier, the General Staff of the North's Korean People's Army said it will send troops to the now-shuttered inter-Korean industrial complex in its border city of Kaesong and the Mount Kumgang tourist zone on the east coast -- two key symbols of inter-Korean reconciliation. The North also said it will restore guard posts removed from the Demilitarized Zone separating the two sides and resume "all kinds of regular military exercises" near the inter-Korean border in an apparent move to abolish a military tension-reduction deal signed in 2018. "Units of the regiment level and necessary firepower sub-units with defense mission will be deployed in the Mount Kumgang tourist area and the Kaesong Industrial Zone," a spokesperson of the General Staff said in a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). "Civil police posts that had been withdrawn from the Demilitarized Zone under the north-south agreement in the military field will be set up again to strengthen the guard over the front line," it said.

  • Listed firms' earnings outlooks swing to upturn
    Listed firms' earnings outlooks swing to upturn SEOUL, June 8 (Yonhap) -- Earnings forecasts for South Korea's listed firms rebounded from a long downturn last week amid rising hopes for their possible exit from the coronavirus shock, a market tracker said Monday. Companies listed on the country's main stock market saw the average estimate of their earnings per share (EPS) for the next 12 months amount to 6,038 won (US$4.99) on Thursday, up 2.5 percent from the prior week, according to FnGuide. The increase in EPS, or a company's profit divided by its outstanding common shares, means brokerage houses have revised up their earnings forecasts. The 12-month EPS estimate has been on the skids since reaching 6,905 won on March 12, as the market has downgraded their outlooks due to rising concerns over the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. The coronavirus outbreak has led to widespread lockdowns, shuttered plants and dented consumer spending, touching off worries of a global economic recession. Analysts said the upturn in the EPS estimate points to growing expectations for a recovery in their profits down the road as economies reopen amid falling coronavirus cases and deaths. "Given the resumption of economic activity, the EPS estimate is expected to trend higher in coming months though it remains to be seen whether last week's reading is a temporary rally," Ha In-hwan, an analyst at Meritz Securities Co., said. Some watchers warned the rise in the EPS estimate could be limited unless corporate earnings take a turn for the better due to a delay in the recovery of the real economy. Asia's fourth-largest economy has been battered by the coronavirus outbreak after reporting its first confirmed case on Jan. 20. Its gross domestic product shrank 1.3 percent on-quarter in the January-March period on weak exports and consumer spending. It was the biggest on-quarter drop since a 3.3 percent fall in the last three months of 2008. The viral disease has so far infected nearly 11,800 people and claimed 273 lives here.(END)
