(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Dong-hwan = The government decided on the 13th to improve 33 regulations in new industries such as drones, high-tech education, electric vehicles, and bio/healthcare.

The Office of Government Policy Coordination said in a press release that the government held a regulatory reform committee at the government complex in Seoul on the 10th to regulate 12 cases of energy and new materials, 5 cases of unmanned vehicles, 5 cases of information and communication technology (ICT) convergence, and 10 cases of bio-health care. A plan for improvement has been confirmed.

At the time when President Yoon Seok-yeol and Prime Minister Han Deok-soo said, “Regulatory reform is national growth,” in his first weekly meeting on the same day, the government launched a ‘regulation deregulation package’ in earnest. President Yoon compared regulation to a ‘sand bag’ and expressed his strong will for regulatory reform, saying, “It is difficult to compete in the global market with a sand bag.”

Regulatory reform is further accelerated as the regulatory innovation strategy meeting presided over by the president, the regulatory tribunal modeled following the UK’s ‘Red Tape Challenge’ that judges when citizens and businesses report ‘bad regulations’, and the public-private joint regulatory innovation promotion team are also launched. seems to pay

On the same day, the government announced a deregulation plan to allow drones and unmanned robots as a means of transportation for daily logistics services.

According to the current Living Logistics Service Industry Development Act, only two-wheeled vehicles and trucks are permitted for courier services. The industry pointed out that drones and autonomous delivery robots are impossible and impede the development of the new unmanned delivery industry.

The government said, “We will prepare a legal basis for drone and robot delivery business and use them to improve productivity and improve consumer convenience in daily logistics services such as delivery to remote areas.”

Regulations on essential equipment and facilities for drone night flight will also be relaxed.

Currently, for drone night flight, it is necessary to obtain a special flight approval from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, but it is pointed out in the industry that it is impossible to use the latest equipment according to technological development because the safety equipment and facilities that must be equipped in accordance with the special flight safety standards are specifically specified. brought up

Accordingly, the government announced that it would stipulate special flight safety standards more comprehensively so that the latest drone equipment can be used, and improve related regulations so that they can be approved following safety inspection by the Institute of Aviation Safety and Technology.

In line with President Yoon’s emphasis on discovering talent in high-tech industries such as semiconductors and emphasizing competitiveness, deregulation measures have also been introduced.

First of all, in high-tech industries such as artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, the quota standards were relaxed so that the quota for graduate schools can be increased even if only the teacher retention rate is satisfied among the four major educational conditions (teacher, teacher, teaching paper, and basic property for profit). Previously, it was possible to secure all four major educational conditions.

The government said, “It can contribute to strengthening the national competitiveness by promoting the cultivation of professional and high-level manpower in the high-tech industry.”

The joint subject system between universities in the high-tech industry has been improved so that the number of credits that can be taken at one university can be autonomously determined through an agreement between universities.

Previously, it was difficult for the university to operate an autonomous academic system because the number of credits that can be taken at one university was limited to 1/2 of the total number of credits.

We also improved the identification method when delivering alcoholic beverages.

Currently, the sale of alcoholic beverages with food is allowed through the existing delivery app, but the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family is recommending that the delivery person verify the identity of the recipient.

It is recommended that IDs be checked only when the recipient of alcoholic beverages is suspected to be a juvenile, and that excessive verification such as taking ID photos is not recommended.

For new virtual asset operators, a special case for ISMS preliminary certification was introduced, allowing entry into the virtual asset market even following acquiring preliminary certification.

“Vote” the night sky embroidered with drones

When a corporation purchases an electric vehicle, it is promoting a plan to allow local governments that do not have branches to receive separate government subsidies.

Currently, corporations can receive subsidies from government subsidies (Ministry of Environment) and local subsidies (local governments where they are located) only when they apply for subsidies from the local government where they have branches.

The medical device software change permission system is converted to a ‘negative regulation’ (regulation that allows all actions unless prohibited).

Current medical devices must obtain a change permission if the permitted matters are changed. In the case of ‘minor changes’ in the notification of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, permission exemption is possible.

Due to the nature of medical device software, maintenance and security function updates are very frequent, but in this case, it is not included in ‘minor changes’, so the related industry has complained regarding the burden of time required and fee costs for change permission.

Instead of ‘minor changes’, the government specified ‘significant changes’ in detail to require change permission in this case.

A plan to extend the inspection cycle for hazardous chemical handling facilities (953 places subject to business license) that are subject to regular inspections every year, and for handling plants (5,000 places) with a low handling volume of hazardous substances and a low risk of chemical accident prevention management plan decided to set up

Medical waste treatment facilities such as sterilization and crushing facilities have been improved so that they can be installed in facilities attached to medical institutions (extracts treatment facilities). The effect of minimizing the risk of secondary infection and reducing processing costs is expected as medical waste is treated directly at the hospital without moving it to a dedicated incinerator.

A system for posting medical expenses at veterinary hospitals will also be introduced in earnest.

The government’s position is to prevent excessive treatment and excessive billing of medical expenses by veterinary hospitals by preparing specific treatment items and cost posting methods by July of this year.

In addition, measures to ease regulations have been prepared, such as ▲ allowing the installation of hydrogen charging stations at truck rest stops ▲ allowing steel plate barriers when constructing hydrogen charging stations ▲ improving the licenses and permits for fuel cell power generation industries in development-restricted areas ▲ extending the period of temporary use of wind power generation facilities.

An official from the Office of Government Policy Coordination said, “At a time when the Yun Seok-yeol government is promoting omnidirectional regulatory innovation to expand domestic and foreign companies’ investment and economic growth through this, businessmen, experts, and public officials gather together to quickly implement improvement tasks to resolve unreasonable regulations in new industries. It is meaningful that it was prepared to do so,” he said.

He added, “We will try to resolve regulations that are an obstacle to investment in new industries in the shortest possible time.”
