The South Korean government has held a hearing to apply for the TPP = Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement in which 11 countries including Japan participate, and is in full swing in the related procedures in Japan.
On the 25th, the South Korean government held a public hearing to hear opinions from experts, agriculture, manufacturing, etc. in preparation for the application for membership in the TPP.
At the hearing, a government official was planning to explain in detail the policy of support measures for the domestic agricultural sector, which is expected to have economic effects and impacts, but officials from agricultural and fishery organizations who oppose joining were invited to the venue. I squeezed into and raised a voice of protest.
For this reason, a large number of police officers were mobilized at the venue and the progress was temporarily suspended, and according to the Korean media, the explanation etc. originally planned was largely omitted and the time was shortened.
The South Korean government is aiming to apply for TPP membership in April after reporting to the Diet, but some Korean media may be behind the target due to strong opposition from agricultural groups. I also convey the view that.
