Island Investigations on Club Drugs Last month, a drug trafficking and distribution network involved in selling drugs such as Ecstasy and Ketamine in karaoke bars and foreigner-exclusive clubs in South (경상) Gyeongsang Province was apprehended by the Coast Guard. Amidst a series of drug crimes occurring in clubs and bars nationwide, a similar drug offender has been arrested in Jeju as well. A man in his 30s, identified as Mr. A, who was formerly affiliated with a club, has been arrested last month on suspicion of possessing dozens of Ecstasy pills and consuming them. Jeju District Prosecutor's Office has indicted Mr. A on charges of drug possession and consumption, and they have also announced that they are conducting supplementary investigations into individuals who were involved in drug consumption with him. Ecstasy, a new type of drug, is known as a "club drug" as it is primarily consumed by young people. It has a hallucinogenic effect that is three times stronger than that of methamphetamine. INTERVIEW Jo Gwang-won / Jeju Office, Korean Society of Drug Abuse Ecstasy is known to produce hallucinogenic effects that can induce a significant elevation in mood. It is indeed a drug that is commonly used by young people. The Jeju Provincial Police Agency has stated that this case is unrelated to clubs, and it is difficult to disclose specific details regarding the case, including the specific charges, as the investigation is still ongoing. According to the Korea Customs Service, the amount of newly identified drugs seized last year was 260 kg, which is more than a tenfold increase compared to two years ago. Among them, the quantity of Ecstasy seizures increased by seven times during the same period. With the recent arrest of an Ecstasy drug offender in Jeju, there is growing interest in whether the crimes are linked to related industries, as seen in nationwide cases, rather than being isolated incidents of individual crimes. The investigation results regarding any potential spread of crime to associated sectors have garnered significant attention. 제주에도 클럽 마약?…경찰 수사 확대 지난 달 경남에 있는 노래주점과 외국인 전용 클럽 등에서 엑스터시와 케타민 등 마약류를 판매한 판매책과 유통 조직이 해경에 검거됐습니다. 전국적으로 클럽이나 술집에서 마약 범죄가 잇따르는 가운데 제주에서도 유사 마약 사범이 검거됐습니다. 모 클럽 관계자였던 30대 A 씨가 지난 달 엑스터시 수십 정을 소지하고 투약한 혐의로 구속됐습니다. 제주지검은 A 씨를 마약류 소지와 투약 혐의로 구속 기소했고 함께 투약한 이들에 대해서도 보완 수사를 진행하고 있다고 밝혔습니다. 엑스터시는 필로폰보다 환각 작용이 3배나 큰 신종 마약류로 젊은 층이 주로 투약하면서 일명 클럽용 마약으로도 알려졌습니다. <인터뷰 : 고광언/ 한국마약범죄학회 제주지회장> 엑스터시를 투약하면 환각작용을 일으켜서 기분이 아주 상승되는 효과를 누리는 마약으로 알려지고 있습니다. 젊은 사람들이 많이 이용하는 마약으로 보면 되겠습니다. 제주경찰청은 이번 사건은 클럽과는 무관하다면서도 구체적인 혐의점 등은 수사가 진행 중이여서 밝히기 어렵다고 전했습니다. 지난해 관세청이 적발한 신종 마약류는 260kg으로 2년 전보다 10배 이상 급증했습니다. 이 가운데 엑스터시 적발 물량은 같은 기간 7배나 늘었습니다. 제주에서도 엑스터시 마약 사범이 검거된 가운데 개인의 단순 범죄가 아닌 전국 사례처럼 연관 업종으로 범죄가 퍼졌을지 수사 결과에 관심이 모아지고 있습니다.

  • Possible Impact on Local Farmers
  • Seoul has decided not to continue its status as a “developing country” in the field of agriculture at WTO renegotiations. The national government says there will be no imminent impact on the agriculture industry. But the island is likely to suffer a blow with reduced tariffs on imported agricultural items. Mike Balfour reports. [slug] Korea received preferential treatment in agriculture and climate areas Korea has enjoyed preferential treatment as a developing country in the area of agriculture and climate change during free trade negotiations with other WTO(World Trade Organization) member countries. Benefits associated with developing country status include high tariffs on imported agricultural products and governmental subsidies provided to farmers. [slug] Seoul relinquishes privileges as a developing country at WTO negotiations The national government has decided not to preserve the developing country status at WTO negotiations with other member countries. INTERVIEW Hong Nam-Ki / Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Economy and Finance (Oct.25) We decided to relinquish developing country benefits at future free trade negotiations with other countries. <인터뷰 : 홍남기/부총리 겸 기획재정부 장관(지난 25일)> "미래 WTO 협상에서 개도국 특혜를 주장하지 않기로 결정하였습니다." Local farmers strongly oppose the decision. The island's major production of garlic, mandarine and onions can suffer due to reduced tariffs on imported agricultural products. A high tariff of between 130 and 360 percent is imposed on items categorized as "sensitive" products. [slug] Weaker protection for Jeju products including garlic The farmers association expects that the island will suffer greatly from lower tariffs on imported garlic and mandarins which have been categorized as sensitive items. [slug] Seoul: No imminent impact The national government says there will be no imminent impact on the agriculture industry because the changed status will be applied only to future negotiations. However, farmers are not relieved because free trade negotiations can take place in unexpected ways and Seoul hasn’t come up with plans to minimize the possible impacts of the change. Farming is being driven to the brink as agricultural products grown or produced in other countries are rushing into the nation.

  • KEI evaluates planned site of 2nd airport ‘inadequate’
  • 2. KEI evaluates planned site of 2nd airport ‘inadequate’ Institute points out a need for further EIA In related news, Korea Environment Institute said the planned site of the island’s second airport is ‘inadequate’ and highlighted a need to seek alternatives. KEI stated in its review of the environment impact assessment of the basic plan of the second airport that the feasibility of the planned site is very low as facilities such as migratory bird sanctuaries, orchards and pig farms are located near the planned site of the new airport. The institute stressed the need to further analyze the risk of aircraft and bird collisions and noise pollution. It also advised to compare review the current plan and alternatives and seek islanders’ opinions. KEI, "제2공항 입지 타당성 매우 낮아…대안 검토" 제2공항은 입지 타당성이 매우 낮아 대안 검토가 필요하다는 국책연구기관 의견이 나왔습니다. 한국환경정책평가연구원은 제2공항 전략환경영향평가서 기본계획안 검토의견서에서 제2공항은 예정지는 철새도래지와 과수원, 양돈장 같은 부적정한 시설물이 인접해 있어 입지적 타당성이 매우 낮다고 분석했습니다. 또 항공기와 조류 충돌 위험성 분석과 소음 피해에 대한 추가 조사도 이뤄져야 한다고 강조했습니다. 이에 따라 현 사업계획 외에 추가 대안과의 비교 검토가 필요하고 주민 수용성 확보 방안도 충분히 수행해야 한다고 조언했습니다.
