A Comparative Study on the Fisheries Policy of Korea and the United States under the Global New Trade Rules of Fisheries

The U.S. is a major country that has introduced fisheries norms in major trade agreements such as CPTPP and USMCA, starting with the TPP discussion that began in 2010. In particular, with the inauguration of the Joe Biden administration in 2021, it is expected that US trade policies will shift toward supporting environmental issues, international cooperation, fairness and multilateral trade systems. This implies the possibility that the U.S. will push forward with the TPP negotiations again or expand and push forward the CPTPP, which has already officially entered into force in 2018. In this case, it is likely that the US-led CPTPP or the USMCA agreement, which adopted a higher level of discipline than the existing CPTPP in the fishery sector, will serve as a reference. In other words, as the US administration changes in the future, it is expected that the US s interest and influence in the formation of international fisheries norms will increase. Therefore, in preparation for the possibility that fishery regulations at the CPTPP and USMCA levels will expand to the world in the future, this study reviewed the fishery regulations newly emerged in the current trade agreement. In addition, the current state of fisheries policy in the United States, which is leading the discussion on international fisheries norms, and Korea, which are expected to have direct or indirect impacts amid such changes in international fisheries norms, was analyzed. Through this, this study attempted to derive complementary points and limitations of domestic fisheries policies to proactively respond to the impact of the expansion of fisheries provisions at a level similar to that of CPTPP and USMCA.
