Reasons for Proposal
<Reason for Proposal and Key Contents>
Under the current law, the employment of high-ranking public officials in companies related to the department or organization they were previously affiliated with after retirement is restricted to ensure transparency and fairness in public office.
However, there has been concern that if a public official who was engaged in defense industry technology takes employment with a foreign company, it could compromise the security of sensitive defense-related technologies directly tied to national security. Therefore, there is a need to prohibit such employment.
To address this, the proposal aims to require all public officials whose duties during the last five years of their service were related to defense industry technology to obtain confirmation that there is no close relation or approval for employment before being allowed to work for overseas institutions (New Article 17, Paragraph 10, etc.).
Major Provisions
Imposing regulations to prevent public officials who have been engaged in defense industry technology-related duties for the last five years of their service from being employed by foreign institutions (New Article 17, Paragraph 10, etc.).
