The Foreign Affairs and Trade Committee in Korea's National Assembly plans to vote Wednesday, April 22, on sending the trade agreement to the Assembly itself: Assembly Committee to Vote on KORUS FTA Motion Wednesday. Opposition legislators won't be voting for it, but it doesn't sound like they'll be trying to disrupt voting this time either:
The main opposition Democratic Party (DP) will not
participate in the vote as its members oppose ratification before the
U.S. government makes clear its posture. The minor opposition Liberty
Forward Party also opposes ratification.
Negotiators of the GNP and the DP reached an agreement on voting on the motion during inter-party talks in January after U.S. President Barack Obama's administration took office.
