KORUS FTA takes a step forward in the National Assembly

The National Assembly's Judiciary Committee approved the trade agreement, despite a walkout by the opposition: SKorea lawmakers endorse US FTA bill:

The bill was approved by the judiciary subcommittee after opposition legislators boycotted the meeting, the ruling Grand National Party (GNP) said.

The bill still requires approval by the subcommittees for foreign affairs, trade and unification, before it is submitted to a plenary session of the National Assembly for ratification.

I'm worried about the opposition parties in South Korea blocking this, but not as much as I am the ruling party in the US — of which I'm a part! May have to change party membership.

Anyway, I have added your blog to my "blog updates" list, so get cracking, Ben! :)

By the way, here are some recent FTA-related stories I've blogged about.
