[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Koo Dae-seon] The Daegu City Council member research group ‘Won-Hacheong Companies Co-prosperity Forum’ (led by Representative Kim Jeong-ok, People Power Party, proportional representation) held a policy research project commencement briefing at 11 a.m. on the 1st in the 3rd floor meeting room of the City Council, attended by affiliated members (Park So-young, Ryu Jong-woo, Hwang Soon-ja, Ha Byung-moon, Lee Tae-son, Yoon Kwon-geun, Park Jong-pil, Heo Si-young, Lee Young-ae, Kim Won-gyu).

The ‘Won-Hacheong Companies Co-prosperity Forum,’ a research group of Daegu City Council members, was formed in September last year by 11 Daegu City Council members to establish a symbiotic transaction order and foster an atmosphere of co-growth between primary and subcontracting companies.

Council members of Daegu City affiliated with the 'Primary and Subcontractor Joint Win-Win Forum' gathered in one place.

Professor Lim Woon-taek of Keimyung University, the research director, reported on the process and outcome derivation plan of the project, stating, “The research project on improvement measures through a survey of the actual conditions of primary-subcontractor relationships in small and medium manufacturing industries aims to identify difficulties and challenges faced by automobile parts companies in Daegu in primary-subcontractor transactions through interview methods. Based on this, we will produce a high-quality report to enable the Daegu City Council to prepare institutional and policy improvement measures to reduce the harms of unfair transactions between primary and subcontractors.”

Afterwards, attending industry officials and city council members exchanged opinions on various ways for primary and subcontracting companies to cooperate and achieve mutual development, agreeing to actively cooperate to ensure smooth progress of the research.

Forum leader Representative Kim Jeong-ok said, “Today’s policy research project commencement briefing marks the start of our research group’s first task since its launch and the beginning of our activities for the new year. It is the first time that the research group has actively expressed opinions from the start of the research project,” adding, “We will continue in-depth research and active activities to produce excellent results by reflecting the diverse opinions raised today.”

A Daegu City Council official stated, “The Keimyung University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, which was commissioned for the research project, is currently conducting the study. The results are expected around May. Based on these results, we plan to propose measures to Daegu City or the central government to prevent unfair transactions between primary and subcontractors.”
