[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Yoon So-ha, the floor leader of the Justice Party, announced on the 7th that the amendment to the "Fisheries and Fishing Ports Act," which he proposed as the main sponsor, was passed at the National Assembly plenary session on the 6th.

Yoon said, "The previous 'Fisheries and Fishing Ports Act' did not have a legal basis for facilities that support income increase and production support activities for fishermen responsible for production, nor for facilities related to the Fisheries Cooperative," adding, "With this amendment, a legal basis has been established for Fisheries Cooperative-related facilities to be included in fishing port facilities."

He also expressed his welcome, saying, "The Mokpo Fisheries Cooperative will be able to enter the 'Eco-friendly Fisheries Comprehensive Support Complex,' scheduled to be completed this year at Mokpo North Port."

Yoon So-ha emphasized, "Going forward, I will actively work to successfully expand the Fisheries Comprehensive Support Complex, establish a fisheries food export complex, and actively attract the fisheries equipment industry so that Mokpo can grow into a leading city in the fisheries industry."

Meanwhile, at this National Assembly plenary session, two other bills proposed by Yoon So-ha were also passed: the "Mental Health Welfare Act" (including occupational therapists as mental health workers) and the "Framework Act on Social Security" (strengthening local governments' authority over social security projects and revitalizing social security projects considering regional characteristics).
