The Yeouido Policy Research Institute has been holding the ‘Local Autonomy Evaluation Legislative Policy Vision Award’ annually since 2017 to select outstanding lawmakers who have implemented resident policies to revitalize local autonomy.

The institute reviewed and evaluated overall legislative activities including committee activities, administrative audits, budget and settlement reviews, and resolution of local complaints, and announced the final awardees on the 21st.

It is reported that Chairman Shin Eui-jun, who received the grand prize, earned high scores for his active legislative activities representing farmers and fishermen this year.

In particular, he was praised for his efforts to establish support grounds for current issues such as ▲ issuing a statement on rice price recovery ▲ enacting ordinances related to high-quality rice ▲ measures to improve food self-sufficiency rate ▲ urging reduction of delivery fees for island residents ▲ proposing ordinances for stabilization of seafood prices ▲ and suggesting policies for private-led marine debris collection.

Chairman Shin said, “It is even more meaningful that the achievements made through the joint efforts of all members of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Livestock Committee of Jeonnam Provincial Council were evaluated on the national stage,” and added, “I understand this as a call to continue striving for the development of Jeonnam residents and agriculture, fisheries, and rural areas, and I will do my best.”
