Dear list, 

those who are interested in Korea and international trade relations, check
out the "Overview of the State-of-play of WTO Disputes"

http://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/dispu_e/stplay_e.doc 

Pending and resolved cases are listed and briefly described. I have
extracted those which involved the ROK as a major actor. If you want to
receive the details, please e-mail me personally. It is about seven pages
and I did not want to bother the whole list with it. BTW, the WTO uses the
term "European CommunitIES" instead of ECommunitY. 

A download (pdf- or doc- file) on "Korea — Measures affecting imports of
fresh, chilled and frozen beef — Complaint by the United States"
(dispute-settlement panel issued 31 July 2000 its report on the US
complaint against Korean import measures on beef , DS161) is available at 

http://www.wto.org/english/news_e/news_e.htm

Best, 

Rudiger
