Korea's trade diplomats have been mainly concerned with the EU's external barriers to trade in the form of tariffs, duties and quantitative restrictions, which are the most traditional and transparent aspects of trade policy. In contrast, the EU has been primarily concerned with Korea's internal barriers to trade, related to certain aspects of domestic policy, such as its discriminatory tax regime in automobiles and liquor, its frugality campaign, as well as its inadequate IPR regulations.

Korea's primary concerns remain on the EU's anti-dumping duty and, to a lesser extent, recent changes made to its GSP scheme. The EU still imposes ADDs on imports from Korea in key products, namely televisions, microwave ovens, electronic capacitors, microdisks, fax machines and synthetic polyester fibers. In May 1998, Korea will be completely graduated based on the 'graduation' mechanism in EU's GSP scheme. Consequently, Korea's GSP privileges will be entirely removed. The fact that Korea will be graduated is in a sense a compliment to its advanced industrial progress.

The Framework Agreement for Trade and Cooperation between Korea and the European Community and its Member States, signed on 28 October 1996, contains provisions aimed at developing and intensifying trade and bilateral economic cooperation in several fields. The key principles of the Framework Agreement include non-discriminatory market access, an open climate for investment, cooperation between Korean and EU businesses, and technical standards.
