<Anchor> Although



it is said that the amount of goods brought in in a hurry from here and there is a bit of a breather, there are certain points that need to be pointed out in this situation. It is also pointed out that the government's slow response has exacerbated the situation.



Reporter Ahn Jung-sik will tell you about this.



<Reporter>



It was from the end of last month that the urea water crisis began to surface in Korea.



[Gas station employee (28th of last month): I want to sell, but I can’t because I don’t have anything, but one or two a day went out on the day that the urea solution was going to be a big problem,



but

30 went out that day.]

It was foretold.



China announced on the 11th of last month that it would make pre-export inspections mandatory for urea and potassium fertilizers, which had been exported without a separate inspection, and the actual implementation began on the 15th, four days later.



The report by the Chinese diplomatic mission was made on the 21st of last month.



It has been ten days since the announcement in China, but it was not a warning of a urea water crisis, but rather dealing with industry complaints about difficulties in urea customs clearance.



The government recognized the seriousness of the problem and held a full-fledged meeting with related ministries on the 2nd of this month, ten more days after the report from the embassy.



It is no exaggeration to say that there was little awareness of the urea water crisis within the government until 20 more days passed after the announcement of the Chinese export inspection.



The steering committee of the National Assembly held against the Blue House also continued to criticize.



[Im Ja / People's Power Rep.: The government was too indifferent, and so is the Blue House.

It's irresponsible and incompetent...

.]



[Young-min Yoo / Chief of Staff of the President: It is a pity that we had foreseen and prepared for this kind of thing earlier.]



Yoo Young-min, Chief of Staff of the President, said, "I think I paid expensive tuition." “, he boasted.
