[Review On] FKCCI Advocates for Fair Competition at KCCI Roundtable.      On September 5th, the FKCCI French Korean Chamber of Commerce and Industry, represented by Chairman Mr. David-Pierre Jalicon, CEO of D.P.J. & Partners Architecture, participated in a pivotal Roundtable hosted by the Korean Chamber Of Commerce and Industry (KCCI). 🌐     Key topics included the challenges faced by foreign businesses in Korea, with Mr. JALICON emphasizing the regulatory disparities in online marketplaces. While some foreign companies are required to repackage, label their products in Korean, and adhere to strict safety standards to sell in Korea, overseas-based sellers can bypass these local compliance measures, leading to unfair competition, particularly in the beauty and dermatology sectors. 💄🔬     The government, represented by Mr. Jeong In-gyo, Director General for Trade Negotiations (MOTIE), responded by announcing the formation of a task force to regulate international sellers and ensure safety and fair competition. ✅    Read the full article:  ENG: https://lnkd.in/gwXDvDKE KR: https://lnkd.in/gU8gqxp8 Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, European Chamber of Commerce in Korea (ECCK), AMCHAM Korea, AHK Korea (Korean-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry) #FairCompetition #FKCCI #KCCI #TradeDialogue #InternationalBusiness #Advocacy #Member #Community #Cosmetics #Onlinemarketplace #Competition #Beautyindustry
