Gov't Permits Four Firms to Expand Facilities Near Seoul

 

MAEIL NEWSPAPER :12/07/2006

The government is set to allow four giant firms to expand their production facilities within the Seoul metropolitan area; LG Electronics (Osan), Pantech (Gimpo), Hanmi Pharmaceutical (Hwaseong) and Ildong Pharmaceutical (Anseong).

 

The Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy (MOCIE) disclosed on Thursday that a confirmation was made during a morning government-ruling party consultation session, allowing facility expansions in the metropolitan growth management zones of these four corporations.

 

This is the participatory government's third consent to plant additions in the metropolis, following Samsung Electronics and Ssangyong Motor in 2004 and eight high-tech businesses in 2005.

 

Accordingly, MOCIE is set to amend the enforcement ordinance of legal matters regarding direct industrial revitalization and plant establishment by February.

 

As a result, the three industries; a printed circuit board manufacturer, a broadcast and wireless telecommunications unit manufacturer, and a pharmaceutical firm, which were originally banned from enlarging plants in the metropolitan growth management zones, are expected to be exempted from being bound by the regulation until next year.

 

Growth management zones total of 5,907.2 sq. km, with Osan, Hwaseong and Gimpo included, within which businesses need permission to establish factories.

 

Despite the recent decision, MOCIE still plans to limit further development and complete its operations next year.

 

Meanwhile, MOCIE estimated that an annual economic effect of 1.85 trillion won in production and $780 million in exports will be generated by year 2012 once the corporate facilities are expanded.

6 File Damage Suit Over Cold Drugs

Stroke Sufferers Demand 500 Million Won in Compensation

KOREA TIMES:08-24-2004

 

By Na Jeong-ju / Staff Reporter

Six people Tuesday filed a 500-million-won damage suit against the government and cold drug makers, claiming they had suffered side-effects from medicines containing phenylpropanolamine (PPA), which allegedly causes hemorrhagic strokes.

 

It is the first time Koreans have taken legal action against drug makers and the Korean government since the Korean Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) on Aug. 1 banned the production and sale of cold remedies containing PPA.

 

Yuhan Corp, Choongwae Pharma, Hanmi Pharm, Yungjin Pharm, Wyeth Korea and BMS Korea will be some of the drug manufacturers that will be taken to court, according to lawyers.

 

Seo Kwon-shik, one of the lawyers who represent the six plaintiffs, said the Korean government should take responsibility for neglecting its duty to protect the public from the harmful effects of PPA-containing medicines.

 

Seo also claimed Korean and foreign pharmaceutical firms had continued to produce PPA-containing drugs for the past four years, despite a warning issued in 2000 by the United States Food and Drug Administration over the potential danger of the drugs.

 

``We have received complaints from more than 20 patients and their families regarding side effects of PPA-containing drugs,'' Seo said. ``We have evidence proving six of them suffered strokes after taking PPA-containing drugs. We are also undertaking studies to prove more cases showing the use of PPA drugs causes strokes.''

 

In a complaint filed with the Seoul Central District Court, the patients claimed the government failed to remove the PPA drugs from the market although they first recognized the potential harmful effects of the drug four years ago.

 

Also, the pharmaceutical firms were required to inform patients of potential side-effects from consuming PPA-containing drugs before selling them, but they failed to follow the regulation, they added.

 

The lawyers said, during a news conference at the court, that they are consulting with law firms based in Los Angeles and New York, to file a separate damage suit against some multinational pharmaceutical firms.

 

The firms made contracts with Korean firms to offer technology needed for the manufacture of PPA-containing cold drugs and collected royalties from sales in the Korean market, according to the lawyers.

 

On Aug. 9, the Ministry of Health and Welfare concluded the KFDA had taken belated measures against PPA-containing products and the delayed action had caused widespread health problems.

 

The ban on PPA-containing drugs came after a group of nine Korean medical professors released the results of their two-year research showing ingesting PPA increases the likelihood of hemorrhagic strokes among people over the age of 30, especially women.

 

 

167 Cold Remedies Banned

Drugs With PPA Can Cause Strokes: KFDA

KOREA TIMES:08-01-2004

 

By Na Jeong-ju / Staff Reporter

The Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) on Saturday banned production and sales of 167 cough and cold medications containing phenylpropanolamine (PPA), an ingredient that can cause hemorrhagic strokes.

 

Following the total ban of PPA, 75 pharmaceutical manufacturers are required to remove PPA-containing pills, syrups and tablets off shelves nationwide.

 

Consumers are also advised to stop using over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medicines having the harmful substance. The regulator asked doctors and pharmacists to stop prescribing or selling the products immediately.

 

The measure is based on the result of a years' research by the KFDA that has concluded PPA could cause hemorrhagic stroke for medicine-takers.

 

The KFDA said it has ordered the drug manufacturers to recall their PPA-containing products completely within the next month for disposal.

 

The measure came four years after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a public health advisory in November 2000 concerning the use of PPA hydrochloride, which was being widely used for diet and cold pills, and requested all drug companies discontinue marketing products containing PPA.

 

Immediately after the FDA advisory, the Korean regulator took similar measures to ask pharmaceutical firms to voluntarily stop producing and selling the listed cold relievers.

 

Drugs with the PPA have almost disappeared in the U.S. following the warning, but drug companies in South Korea have continued to make and sell drugs using the PPA, and the KFDA had done little to ban the harmful substance.

 

Public anger grew Monday over the belated ban for the substance. Critics argued the KFDA released the list of products containing PPA on the weekend to avoid media attention on the issue and a possible backlash from pharmaceutical firms.

 

The 167 banned products include some popular OTC and prescription medicines such as Contac 600 and 400 manufactured by Yuhan Corp., Facol-F by Choongwae Pharma, Suspen Cold and Cospen by Hanmi Pharm., and Colmin by Yungjin Pharm.

 

Wyeth Korea, BMS Korea, Kolon Pharmaceuticals, Hyundai Pharm., Kwangdong Pharmaceutical and Daewoong Pharmaceutical are also among the 75 manufacturers to face mass recalls.

 

PPA is an ingredient used in many over-the-counter and prescription cough and cold medications as a decongestant. Some Korean manufactures have been arrested for illegally using PPA to make OTC diet products.

 

In 2001, the KFDA banned the use of PPA as a substance to contain appetite, following in the footsteps of the U.S. and Japan, as more medical evidence proving the danger of PPA was discovered.

 

In early 2000, scientists at Yale University's School of Medicine released a report entitled ``Phenylpropanolamine & Risk of Hemorrhagic Stroke: Final Report of the Hemorrhagic Stroke Project.'' The study showed taking PPA increases the risk of hemorrhagic stroke for individual patients.
