The Korea Fair Trade Commission said Tuesday it has formed its third “2030 Advisory Group” and held a launch ceremony for the panel, which will advise the agency on fair-trade policy from a youth perspective. 

The 20-member group will operate in three divisions: consumer issues, competition and business transactions, and public relations and communications. Over the next year, members will propose policies the commission plans to prioritize and suggest ways to communicate policies more effectively to the public. 

The commission said it expects practical, on-the-ground input across fair-trade policy because the members include startup founders, consumer-policy researchers and environmental activists.

KFTC Chairman Joo Byung-ki said in welcoming remarks that the commission has worked across its policy agenda to protect the rights of young people and support their growth. He said the agency will incorporate the panel’s “fresh proposals and approaches” to pursue policies the public can feel in daily life.
