A Study on the Improvement of Mutual Recognition Agreements with countries that signed a FTA with Korea

WTO/TBT related trade regulation notifications, a rising protectionism in international trade, have reached its highest number of 1560. As the trade regulations of China and Southeast Asia against its main trading partners such as the United States and EU become stricter, the longer time spent and higher price required in achieving certificates are becoming new obstacles that deter trade. In order to relieve such trade barriers, many countries are implementing MRA (Mutual Recognition Agreements) for FTA(Free Trade Agreements) Based on these perspectives, this paper introduces the current and implemented status of MRA. It will focus on the many partners of the FT A and suggest a suitable theoretical basis for future MRA of these FT A partners. Through this investigation, the paper will show how MRAs will mitigate the barriers of import and help solve the difficulties that many SMEs face in the international market because of the lack of compatible information.
