[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo In-ho] The Emergency Response Committee of the Construction Mutual Aid Association members announced on the 5th that it has submitted a petition demanding the withdrawal of the amendment to the Enforcement Decree of the Framework Act on the Construction Industry, recently announced for legislative notice by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, to the National Assembly, the Blue House, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and other related government departments.


In the petition, the Emergency Response Committee stated, "The Mutual Aid Association is a purely private institution, and the basic principle is the autonomous management by its members. Although the amendment to the enforcement decree claims to enhance the transparency and fairness of the association's management committee, it rather appears to intend to solidify government-controlled management."


The committee demanded the withdrawal of the enforcement decree, saying, "Even now, the management committee supervising the association is composed of a majority of director-level members from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, as well as government-appointed management committee members, making it impossible for member representatives alone to control the committee's decision-making."



The committee also pointed out, "The president of the Construction Association is the representative of all members, entrusted with the collective will of all members, and it is desirable for them to perform the role of supervising and checking the management matters of the association as is currently the case," adding, "Forcibly terminating the current management committee members' terms also infringes upon constitutional fundamental rights."
