S. Korea pushes for aviation safety pact with EU

By Nam Kwang-sik
SEOUL, Nov. 21 (Yonhap) -- South Korea will push to conclude a comprehensive pact
on aviation safety with the European Union (EU) in an effort to help boost
exports of locally made aviation products to the economic bloc, officials said
Friday.

South Korean aviation product manufacturers will be able to more easily gain
certification from the European Aviation Safety Agency of the EU if the pact is
signed, the Ministry of Construction and Transportation said in a statement.
Both sides will hold talks in Seoul in the first half of next year to discuss the
details of the pact, they said.
