[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] The administrative adjudication allowing the Seoraksan Osaek Cable Car project has taken effect.

The Central Administrative Adjudication Committee under the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission announced on the 26th that it sent the finalized adjudication document regarding the "Cancellation of the Notification of Disapproval for the Environmental Impact Assessment of the Seoraksan Osaek Cable Car Project" to Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do, and the Wonju Regional Environmental Office on the 25th.

With the delivery of this adjudication document, the effect of the decision based on the Central Administrative Adjudication Committee's review on December 29 of last year comes into force. According to the Administrative Adjudication Act, the Wonju Environmental Office must re-examine the environmental impact assessment report for the Seoraksan Osaek Cable Car project.

Min Seongsim, Director of the Administrative Adjudication Bureau at the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, said, "With this acceptance decision, the Wonju Environmental Office must take action again in accordance with the purpose of the adjudication," adding, "The decision of the administrative adjudication has binding force under Article 49 of the Administrative Adjudication Act, and unlike administrative litigation, it operates as a single-instance system."

The Central Administrative Adjudication Committee previously ruled that "the disapproval notification related to the Osaek Cable Car by the Wonju Environmental Office was incorrect."
