Walter KLITZ, Resident Representative, FNF Korea Office, welcomes attendees to the conference

Stefan MELNIK, Independent Political and Educational Consultant: "Deficiencies in economic freedom both at a European and at national levels go a long way in explaining many of the current problems the EU faces, not least the sovereign debt crisis. In the long term the European Union can only survive if its members reaffirm, embrace and implement free market principles in their dealings with each other"



Barbara KOLM of the F.A. v. Hayek Institut on "Economic Freedom and Welfare."



Discussant Jinyoung BAE (stage left): "The Korea-EU FTA should create a more favorable atmosphere by creating an extra `push' for both the U.S. Congress and Korean National Assembly to ratify the Korea-USA FTA. A successful Korea-EU FTA will result in gains for many people and firms in both regions. It is important for that to happen, and I am confident that it will."
